Continuing Education
To help our newly-hired RNs become better integrated with hospital staff, Moses Taylor Hospital offers a Graduate Nurse Program. The ten week orientation program helps develop critical-thinking skills, as well as strengthen clinical practice.
Experienced professional nurses at Moses Taylor will work with Graduate Nurses by facilitating clinical orientation on the hospital floor. Nurse educators are available throughout the entire orientation, covering every shift. Currently utilizing a self-reflection/journaling process, Nurse Educators are developing a structured preceptor program.
