Job Description

Start Your Emergency Nursing Career at Glens Falls Hospital

As a new graduate nurse in our Emergency Department Specialty Track (ED 101), you'll participate in Glens Falls Hospital's ANCC-accredited Nurse Residency Program with a Magnet-recognized organization committed to nursing excellence and professional development. Designed to support the transition from nursing school to professional practice, ED 101 combines a progressive clinical orientation, specialized emergency nursing education, and ongoing mentorship throughout your first year. Because emergency nursing requires a unique combination of clinical judgment, rapid decision-making, teamwork, and adaptability, you'll begin your residency on a Medical-Surgical unit to build a strong foundation in acute care nursing before transitioning into the Emergency Department. There, you'll work alongside experienced preceptors caring for patients of all ages with a wide range of illnesses, injuries, and acuity levels while completing specialized training-including ACLS, PALS, ED Nursing Fundamentals, and additional emergency-focused education-to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to succeed as an emergency nurse.

What to Expect

• Begin your residency with a Medical-Surgical rotation to develop core nursing skills and gain confidence in the acute care setting before transitioning to the Emergency Department
• Dedicated preceptor support and an individualized clinical orientation focused on developing emergency nursing knowledge, clinical judgment, rapid assessment, and prioritization skills
• Care for patients of all ages across a broad spectrum of illnesses, injuries, and acuity levels in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
• Six months of structured educational sessions, including specialty emergency nursing education such as ACLS, PALS, ED Nursing Fundamentals, and additional Emergency Department-specific training
• Ongoing mentorship and orientation support from a Clinical Nurse Educator throughout your first year
• A professional development day focused on peer support, career development, and nursing excellence
• Opportunity to begin your career with a Magnet-recognized organization and ANCC-accredited Nurse Residency Program
