   Nurse-Julie replied to CTnewNurse's topic in Connecticut

   Hi JJmath215, That's wonderful news about St. Francis! My question though is, you mention "new grad residency program". I was under the impression that St. Francis doesn't have a new grad residency program. They give 3 weeks of classroom learning and...
