9 GRADUATE FROM STPH NURSING RESIDENCY PROGRAM

COVINGTON – St. Tammany Parish Hospital has recognized nine registered nurses who recently completed the Nursing Residency Program: Rachel Byrd, Ashley Frosch, Kim Gatlin, Alana Gerdes, Lacey Manning, Nina Sasso, Lauren Schell, Annie Simon and Ryan Vermilyea.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome these nurses into our world-class team, as they represent the best our local nursing programs,” said Chief Nursing Officer Kerry Milton BSN RN MSHA.

The Nursing Residency Program was created in 2011 to offer recently graduated nurses the opportunity to build a solid professional foundation through mentoring in the area of skills development, clinical decision making and teamwork. Since its inception, 53 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, development and training.

Potential nursing residents complete an application based on several objectives that correlate and reflect the hospital mission. After a thorough interview with each candidate, nurse managers identify the candidates.
