Postpartum Track! The ChristianaCare Nurse Residency Program is
accredited with distinction as a Practice Transition Program by the
American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation
in Practice Transition Programs. ChristianaCare Nurse Residency
Program is recognized by the ANCC Practice Transition Accreditation
Program (PTAP) as an Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs
(IRAP).
The Postpartum program is for new RNs who desire to work within
Maternal/Child nursing. Postpartum nurses have the unique ability
to influence and educate families in a positive manner. They enable
the family to start forming as a cohesive unit in order to
confidently care for their baby. Upon completion of this program,
resident nurses will have the knowledge and ability to skillfully
assess new babies and mothers as well as provide extensive care and
education to the family. The Postpartum (Mother/Baby) Residency is
for new RNs and those with less than 12 month's experience who
desire to work within Maternal/Child nursing. Postpartum nurses
care for both the mother and the newborn simultaneously, ensuring
that the mother is stable, and the newborn is transitioning safely
to extrauterine life. They provide extensive education to the
family on newborn care and development as well as important
after-birth care education for the mother. The Postpartum Unit also
has a Continuing Care Nursery where newborns exposed to substance
use disorder are cared for after the mother has been discharged.
These newborns require extensive monitoring and possibly medication
to allow them to transition through the withdrawal period.
The Postpartum nurse residency is a demanding 24-week preceptor led
clinical training program on the Postpartum floors, complemented
with educational workshops specific to Postpartum nursing,
emphasizing both the mother and the newborn. Orientation also
includes the Continuing Care Nursery and the specific knowledge and
skill required to successfully care for NOWS newborns. The program
is followed by continued residency meetings during months 8, 10,
and 12 to further develop as professional nurses and integral
members of our caregiver team.
Upon successful program completion, participants will be hired as a
staff nurse within the Postpartum area at ChristianaCare health
system. Nurse residents are required to pass State Boards and be
licensed as a RN in the State of Delaware prior to starting
position. Upon hire, a commitment agreement to work at the
ChristianaCare will be signed. The agreement requires completion of
two years within ChristianaCare and 15 months of those two years on
the unit of hire. Individuals unable to fill this commitment will
be charged $10,000.
