Professional practice
Patients are at the center of all we do.
Through a framework of constant inquiry, relentless striving for excellence, effective communication and collaboration, you’ll learn how to give each patient the care they need to get better.
Model for patient care
As the country’s largest not-for-profit nursing institute, we keep our focus on consistency of care. Our model for patient care gives you a flexible but structured approach to create better outcomes for every patient, wherever you work in the Baylor Scott & White Health system.
Transition to practice
Accredited with distinction by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, our Transition to Practice Program is a recognized apprenticeship program by the Department of Labor for new nursing graduates.
As a new nursing professional, you’ll get a formal support and learning framework to help you transition from student to professional nurse through onboarding, clinical immersion, internships, competency validation and residency seminars. You’ll gain the confidence and skills you need to consistently manage complex patient conditions for better outcomes.
Through the Transition to Practice Program, we provide you with the tools you need to transition from entry level to competent professional nurse, develop effective clinical judgement, provide bedside clinical leadership, incorporate research-based evidence into practice and create an individual career development plan. During our monthly residency seminars, you’ll receive guidance on how to incorporate life-long learning into your career, stress management techniques from experienced nursing professionals, mentorship and guidance on an evidence-based practice project and other ongoing support from mentors and peer groups who can help you through real-life challenges.
Academic partnerships
Baylor Scott & White Health nurses also have the opportunity to give back by serving as a resource and mentor for nursing students through our Academic Partnerships Program. You’ll be able to provide guidance and create community with nurses who are invested in changing nursing for the better.
