Nursing Education
Hoag is proud to offer a 6 month evidence-based approach to the integration
of a new graduate nurse from the academic setting into the acute care
hospital setting. Hoag has a Resident Program which is a proven pathway
to assist new graduate registered nurses to successfully transition into
clinical practice. As a Magnet facility, Hoag strongly encourages BSN
graduates to apply, however, we do support our local 2 year programs and
hire non-BSN graduates who are required to complete a BSN program within
a 3-year period.
Some of the goals for the Nurse Residency Program are:
- Provide didactic education and clinical training that helps promote transition
into practice
- Engage new graduate nurses to develop interpersonal skills that allow collaborative
relationships with patients, families and the health care team.
- Hands-on learning and Simulation to better prepare for real clinical situations
and to develop critical thinking skills.
- Improve patient outcomes
Hoag’s Residency program does not make the newly graduated nurse
wait for program specific dates. Hoag’s Nursing Education offers
an ongoing Residency program that allows orientation to begin during hospital
offered new hire orientation and then entry into the program.

BSN Workforce
In 2009, the Institute of Medicine recommended that organizations strive
to achieve an 80 percent BSN workforce by 2020. As a
Magnet hospital, this has been a goal for Hoag Nursing. Hoag supports professional development
and with the
generous donation by Julia Argos to nursing education, we have many nurses obtaining higher education and now have a 76 percent
BSN or higher nurse workforce.
