Hospice Nurse Residency Program

Care Dimensions' innovative nurse residency program introduces new nursing graduates and experienced nurses to the field of hospice and palliative care. Nurses develop their hospice expertise through a combination of classroom education, field visits and patient care with the mentorship of a preceptor. 

We are actively recruiting for our 2023 class, which starts in September.  New grad nurses must have their Massachusetts RN or LPN license by August 31, 2023.

Program details:

  • New nursing graduates will have a six-month residency.
  • Experienced nurses will have a three-month residency.
  • Curriculum includes classroom lectures, simulated patient care scenarios, field observations and guided mentorship by a dedicated preceptor. Training will be based out of our Danvers and Waltham locations.
  • Nurse residents will be employed at Care Dimensions during the residency and with successful completion of the residency, offered a full-time position in Case Management. Following the residency, a commitment to work full-time for two years is expected for all nurse residents.
  • All nurse residents will be eligible to sit for national certification in hospice and palliative care (CHPN) prior to the end of their two-year commitment.
  • New in 2023: We are actively recruiting for our inaugural LPN track!
