Garrett Regional Medical Center (GRMC) proudly congratulates the latest cohort of nurses who have successfully completed the nurse residency program. The program is designed to support new graduate nurses as they transition from academic learning to professional nursing practice, ensuring they are well prepared to deliver high-quality, compassionate patient care.
Throughout the year-long program, nurse residents receive structured mentorship, opportunities to collaborate with peers, and guidance concerning communication, ethical/legal practices, wellness, professional growth, quality, and safety. This comprehensive approach helps participants build confidence, strengthen skills, and establish a solid foundation for long-term success in their nursing careers.
The following students have completed the program: Lauren Baker, Bryttney Lewis, Robert Pattison, Gracie Plessinger, and Morgan Winegardner.
“Watching these nurses grow from new graduates has been incredibly rewarding,” said Amanda Simmons, manager of clinical education and development at GRMC. “They bring energy, compassion, and a strong commitment to excellence, and we are proud to celebrate this important milestone with them.”
