Englewood Health has a Nurse Residency Program that lasts 12 months and offers residents the chance to work in a collaborative learning environment with staff who are experienced in a real-world setting. Among the skills which new nurses develop are leadership, clinical reasoning, critical thinking, and inter-professional communication skills, so they can be prepared to provide evidence-based, high-quality family- and patient-centered care. Such programs often turn to brochure printing to offer more details on their programs and their benefits.
