Nursing Fellowships
Our Nurse Fellowship experience uses a blended learning approach to educate our nurses. The fellowship consists of:
- Nurse leaders as mentors
- AACN’s web based critical care curriculum for adults and pediatrics as well as specialty core curriculum
- Associate Fellows – experienced unit-specific nurses educated in the art of preceptorship of new graduate Nurse Fellows
- Master Fellows – masters and doctorally prepared educators providing education and guidance to the Nurse Fellows during the length of the Fellowship
- Simulation as a learning strategy. The elements of the fellowship are educational interventions that can impact new graduate nurse retention, quality of care, and patient safety
The fellowships are a year in length in order to best optimize the nurse fellow’s learning experience; however a two-year commitment to the unit of hire is required. BSN required.

Note: the location of the programs vary depending on participating hospital’s needs and start dates are subject to change.
“The Critical Care Fellowship has continued to develop and expand for over more than a decade. It provides the opportunity to progress gradually and tailors to your personal learning needs as an individual. Overall, it’s been an amazing experience in an encouraging and standout environment and I wouldn’t have done it any other way.”
