RN Fellowship
Experienced nurses bring a wealth of knowledge and training into the clinical environment. However, as a nurse progresses through their career, the desire to transition from one clinical setting to another may feel overwhelming and intimidating. This is the primary reason why the Children’s Health℠ RN Fellowship program was created. The program aims to support experienced nurses seeking to grow in their clinical practice by transitioning into a new specialty. This is achieved through targeted didactic courses, high-fidelity simulation, or mentoring to gain competence and confidence in their new role, the Children’s Health℠ RN Fellowship program is designed to provide the best opportunities for pediatric nurses.
Program Overview
The RN Fellowship Program is for experienced (1 year+) clinical RNs looking to change specialties. Whether you're looking to move from adults to pediatrics, or from any clinical setting into a critical care, cardiology, hematology, or oncology setting, our RN Fellowship Program is designed to assist you on that journey and help you grow within your nursing career.
