Critical Care Nurse Pathway Program
If you are interested in joining one of our Critical Care Department teams, consider applying for the Critical Care Nurse Pathway Program.
This program gives newly graduated nurses, or those without prior critical care experience, the education and expertise needed to fulfill your position in the Critical Care Department you are hired into here at Marshfield Medical Center-Marshfield.
The Critical Care Nurse Pathway Program is an intensive six-month paid multi-modality program offering classroom education, simulation lab, online and on-the-job clinical training in a tertiary care environment. Experienced critical care nurses are the primary educators, dedicated to providing a comprehensive and innovative approach to learning. The program leaders work collaboratively with nurse managers, supervisors, unit-based educators and other nursing colleagues to foster and support your professional growth.
Nurse Residency Program
In addition, we enroll new graduate nurses into a 12-month Nurse Residency Program that supports the transition from a newly graduated nurse to professional Registered Nurse. The combined Critical Care Pathway and Nurse residency Programs standardize excellence, improve recruitment/retention, and ensure safe, competent care across units.
Critical Care Nurse Pathway Program
Medical/Surgical Phase
This phase of the program may last up to 4-weeks and allows the nurse to achieve clinical skill development through assigned clinical hours to gain organization, time management, prioritization and care delivery of patients with various disease processes. This is supervised by a preceptor and nurse educator.
Critical Care Departments
Two Cohorts
We offer two cohorts each year of the Critical Care Nurse Pathway, with one cohort starting in February (ideal for December graduates- applications typically accepted in October), and one in July (ideal for May graduates-applications typically accepted in March). If you are interested in Critical Care Nurse Pathway information outside of these application cycles, please reach out to our Nurse Recruiter!
