New residency program for nurses
DAISY Award recognizes extraordinary nurses
To support new nurses as they navigate their way
through their first year, SVMC launched a Transition
to Practice Program. The state’s only nationally
accredited transition-to-practice residency, the
program combines classroom learning and hands-on
experience, offering participants valuable clinical
experience before they start working and beyond.
Part of a national merit-based recognition
program, SVHC instituted DAISY Awards in the
fall of 2021 to recognize the skill and compassion
of the organization’s many nurses. Anonymously
nominated by colleagues, patients, families
and physicians, winners may be individuals or
nursing teams.
