Programs

The Clinical Entry Nurse Residency Program

is a two-year program designed to provide new graduates of baccalaureate or higher degree educational programs with the opportunity to have a planned first work experience that leads to the development of the necessary skills and professional behaviors considered adequate at the competent level of nursing practice as described by Benner.

The Professional Nurse Advancement and Recognition Program

is a clinical promotion system that develops, recognizes, and rewards clinical nursing expertise.

The Visiting Scholar Program

provides nurses at BI-Deaconess the opportunity to further develop their clinical and theoretical knowledge by interacting with an accomplished nursing scholar.

The Faculty Practice and Development Program

brings academic nurse faculty to Beth Israel Deaconess who want to maintain or renew clinical skills, fulfill requirements for certification or recertification, narrow the gap between current practice and curriculum, and identify clinical research possibilities.

The International Visitor Program

was developed as a result of requests made by colleagues within the United States and throughout the world to learn first hand about our professional nursing practice model and the management system developed here to support care and practice. The program has evolved over the years to the extent that we have both colleague relationships and real friendships that reach around the globe.
