We are looking for new RN graduates to join our StaRN Behavioral Health program!
The StaRN Behavioral Health Nurse Specialty Program prepares registered nurses with the critical skills to become behavioral health nurses. This 14-week program for new graduates is broken down into:
- Seven weeks of medical surgical training
- One week of a comprehensive Behavioral Health Education Program
- Six weeks of clinical preceptorship at the sponsor hospital
All nurses will be paid over the duration of the program and will make two-year commitments to work at the sponsor hospital upon completion of the training. The program is based on the national standards of Psychiatric Nursing, with all learners becoming BLS, ACLS, and CPI certified.
StaRN, short for Specialty Training Apprenticeship for Registered Nurses, began as an opportunity to help meet the demand for specialty nurses in fields such as medical/surgical, telemetry, and critical care. The program is designed to increase the pool of qualified registered nurses while bridging the skills gap between new graduates and experienced nurses.
