Memorial Hospital Emergency Services was the first to implement an Emergency Nurse Residency Program (ENRP) in the state of Mississippi in March 2024.
ENRP is a standardized, planned, comprehensive residency program through which new nurses demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that meet the standards of practice defined by the Emergency Nurses Association, a professional association. The program encompasses aspects of organizational orientation, practice-based experiences, and supplemental activities to promote nursing professional development. ENRP is designed for the new graduate or the experienced nurse new to the ED setting. The program can accommodate several residents in a 16-18-week cohort.
Disclaimer: This program is financed by SMPDD/TDWDA with federal funds. Memorial Hospital and SMPDD have auxiliary aids and services available upon request for those with disabilities.
