Parish Hospital has recognized five registered nurses who recently completed
the Nursing Residency Program: Michelle Aceves, Ashlee Renee Archibald, Kelsey

"These nurses represent the cream of the crop among our local nursing programs," said

teamwork. Since its inception, 27 nurses have completed the program.
"This
comprehensive 14-week program helps new nursing professionals develop the
skills needed to deliver and maintain our philosophy of providing high quality
patient care," said Linda Sanders, RN, department head of education,
