NGMC Barrow is located in Winder. Residents hired at Barrow do not rotate to other campuses.

Tracks available include:
  • General Medical/Surgical Unit
  • Emergency Department
  • Intermediate Care

Gainesville & Braselton Campus

In order to allow graduate nurses, the opportunity to focus on the areas of care that most closely match their interests and career goals, our RN Residency Program offers clinical specialty track options in the following areas:

  • Medical
  • Inpatient Rehab
  • Surgical
  • Intermediate Care
  • Critical Care
  • Cardiology
  • Observation
  • Emergency
  • Women & Children's
  • Behavioral Health


  • RN residents are hired into a specific clinical track in the Nurse Residency, not into a position on a nursing unit. During the hiring process, each applicant identifies their preferred clinical track. A "track" is a group of units with similar patient populations, clinical care requirements, and clinical skills. During the first 10 weeks of the program, the residents rotate through the nursing units within their track. The resident is afforded the opportunity to experience the patient population and care needs of each unit become familiar with each unit culture. At the end of the clinical rotations, the resident is matched to a permanent nursing unit within their track based on the resident's preferences and the availability of positions on specific units.

    All tracks may not be offered in each cohort. Several tracks have clinical rotations between the Braselton and Gainesville campuses, and the resident may match to a permanent position on either campus.

    A clinical nurse preceptor from each patient care unit will be paired with the RN resident to manage the clinical aspects of their orientation period as well as engage the RN residents into the social atmosphere of each nursing unit.

    Our RN residents are also paired with a mentor throughout their year-long residency program. The mentor will serve as a personal guide and will help assimilate the RN resident into NGHS culture. Through monthly meetings with each RN resident, the mentor will closely monitor the progress of orientation and offer guidance and support as needed.

    In addition to the support provided by the mentor and clinical nurse preceptors, one of the most important components of the RN Residency Program is the workshop series. RN Residents will attend residency seminars that support the development of complex skills such as EKG awareness, prioritization, and nurse-to-physician communication. The workshops also provide an opportunity to practice technical skills and develop critical thinking through the use of high fidelity patient simulations.

    Thank you for your interest in the RN Residency Program at NGHS!
