“When I was looking for an RN Residency program, I wanted something exceptional. That’s why I came to Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Their program is innovative and supportive, with one-to-one preceptors, classroom and skills lab education, a personal mentor, support meetings and an individualized rotation to related units. My time here has not only been rewarding, but has fully prepared me for the transition from graduate nurse to professional RN.”
