Specialty Training Apprenticeship for Registered Nurses (StaRN)  

The StaRN Program is primarily designed to provide the graduate nurse with the tools necessary to succeed in today’s hospital environment. StaRN will assist the graduate nurse with the transition out of the classroom setting onto the unit by providing the following training:  

• Didactic training: introduces nurses to core curriculum and hospital initiatives in a classroom setting
• Simulation training: reinforces nursing skills learned in a didactic setting
• Hands on training: preceptorship training with a facility preceptor in the nursing unit 

Program Overview: 

• The typical schedule during the first portion of the StaRN is Monday through Friday, 8-hours a day, 40 hours a week but can also include a weekend day during the holidays.
• The preceptorship portion of the program consists of three 12-hour shifts per week and every other weekend at the hospital, following the preceptors schedule.   
• Certifications achieved: BLS, ACLS, CPI, EKG, NIH Stroke Scale, and Meditech Modules.
• Attendance is mandatory for the entire program.
• Program acceptance requires a minimum two (2) year, full time commitment to the hospital. Residents may be obligated to repay a pro-rated portion of the educational costs should they break that commitment.
