Licensed Practical Nurse - Paid New Graduate Training

The licensed practical nurse participates in a residency program post-graduation, gaining skills through paid training in home care settings. This initiative supports new nurses by offering structured experiences with adults and pediatrics, enabling them to build competencies for autonomous practice. Residents shadow professionals, use simulation labs, and apply knowledge in flexible schedules after a 6-week period, fostering development in varied diagnoses.

BAYADA Home Health Care runs the only ANCC-accredited paid residency for nursing graduates, providing one-on-one care and electronic charting. Founded on improving home healthcare, the organization matches cases near nurses' homes with 24/7 support. Celebrating 50 years, it emphasizes compassion and encourages diverse talent while complying with mandates.

Activities include paid shadowing, charting with Statewise, and on-call support during training with award-winning labs for realism. Nurses interact with educators, clinical managers, and clients across ages. A constraint is completing the 6-week program before flexible scheduling, requiring adaptation to simulation scenarios and NCLEX readiness for practical nursing roles.

Hourly pay from $22 to $24, with flexible shifts post-training including evenings, overnight, and weekends without minimums. Full-time benefits include PTO, medical, dental, vision, company-paid life insurance, EAP, 401k, and preventive care for all. Perks offer $1,200 referral bonuses, scholarship grants, and Public Service Loan Forgiveness partnerships for debt reduction.
