Adult Critical Care Track

The Adult Critical Care track is geared toward new nurses who seek to specialize in adult critical care nursing. The program is designed to nurture the new graduate nurse in the transition from student to professional nurse. It provides new nurses with the specific tools and experiences needed to begin a successful career in a variety of adult critical care settings. After orientation to VUMC, you will experience a focused orientation in your unit and work with unit-based preceptors.

Hiring into this track is dependent on openings in the clinics. If there are no openings, the candidate's other track selections will be considered.
