At Excela Health, experienced and graduate nurses begin with a robust orientation
that includes four days of classroom orientation, followed by an individualized,
preceptor-guided clinical orientation. Graduate nurses are provided additional
support through the
Nurse Residency Program.
Ongoing professional development activities include live in-services, computer-based
learning, simulation labs, competency development, mentoring and coaching.
Many education programs enable the nurse to attain continuing education
(CE) credits required for state licensure. Opportunities are available
to participate in professional development activities to enhance knowledge
and skills as a professional, a clinician and a leader. Lifelong learning
is an important component of one’s nursing career and the Excela
Health Nursing Education Department provides many avenues for nurses to
participate in education programming designed to support growth and development.

Many nurses elect to pursue certification in their area of expertise. Certification
validates that the nurse has demonstrated experience and knowledge in
their area. The benefits of nursing certification are far wide, from personal
development to patients/families. Certification raises the standard in
nursing practice and at Excela Health, we can help the nurse achieve it.
