APP Transition to Practice Program
APP Transition to Practice Program

More ways to learn and grow
We think it’s important for our caregivers to develop their networks and build skills that go beyond their clinical roles as well. As a part of our APP family, you’ll also find opportunities to get involved in committees and projects that impact not only your department, but the entire organization.
For instance, our Office of Nursing Research and Innovation, led by one of our CNSs, is a chance to tap into and gain exposure to the variety of research underway at any given time. In 2021, our APRN Council began a new program that focuses on professional growth through four different pathways — research, leadership, quality and education. And our Office of PA Services provides additional opportunities for participating in committees, workshops, leadership and professional growth.
We’ve been recognized by Forbes/Statista as one of “America’s Best Employers, 2021.” Learn more about how we’re focused on what matters most.
