About the role

Great nursing careers start with great training. Nurses at Banner Health enjoy some of the best on-the-job-training in the industry. The New Graduate RN Residency Program at Banner Health has received the highest accreditation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) as a Practice Transition Accreditation Program® (PTAP).

This program provides a collaborative learning environment where you can refine your nursing skills, enhance your knowledge, and develop new personal and professional relationships.
