Public Health Nursing Residency Program

Welcome to the public health nursing (PHN) residency for nurses new to public health practice! We hope this residency will provide recent nursing graduates and other nurses new to public health with the basic elements needed to successfully transition to public health nursing practice.

Are you interested in this program as a resident, future preceptor, or supervisor? Get started!

This residency is a joint venture between a PHN resident and a preceptor assigned to facilitate the resident's transition to practice. A flexible, one-year calendar provides monthly activities to be completed by the preceptor, the resident, and agency personnel providing orientation.

To learn more about this program's background, visit: About the PHN Residency Program for nurses new to public health.
