Questions and Answers about Torrance Memorial’s RN Residency
Updated 12-20-19
When does your next New Graduate RN Residency start?
We anticipate our next residency to start in the Fall of 2020. More information
about an Open House and the application process will be posted a few months
before then.
What will Torrance Memorial’s RN Residency do for me?
Our residency is a great way to safely transition from the role of student
nurse to professional nurse. During the 24 week, full-time paid residency
you receive classes, one-to-one precepted clinical time, observation time
on related units, and group support meetings - all of which help you in
your new career. This residency will give you confidence, competence,
and good friendships, too!
What else should I know about Torrance Memorial?
Torrance Memorial is an
excellent place to work with friendly, talented, and dedicated staff who support
new grads. Our Lundquist Tower is beautiful and modern. We are Magnet
designated and an independent, locally governed medical center. We love
our new grads and see the 24 week residency as a valuable investment in
our future. You will quickly feel a caring atmosphere here and realize
that at Torrance Memorial, you are a part of something bigger!
Do you have any suggestions for a New Grad’s job search?
We encourage new grads to keep an open mind to various employment opportunities.
Joining professional nursing organizations is a good way to network as
is volunteering. Now might be a good time to pursue your BSN or MSN. We
wish you the best of luck! Remember to take care of yourself with healthy
stress-relieving activities!
How do I apply?
We are not accepting applications at this time for the Fall 2020 cohort
but when we do, the position will be posted as “Staff RN New Grad.”
