With the flexible program options, the TTP program is a unique opportunity to grow your skills, while enjoying work life balance.
Grow with TTP
The TTP Program at OHSU supports nurses in role transitions - new to the profession, new to the specialty, or new to the organization. We value and promote a commitment to lifelong learning and will provide the tools, resources, and support to grow as a nursing professional. We seek out nurses who demonstrate strengths in self-management, self-directivity, self-reflection, and feedback. We strive for excellence by developing a diverse workforce that provides optimal, safe care to patients and the community through a standardized structure and process that supports nurse’s growth and development.

TTP is for new and experienced nurses.

We have three learning paths to meet the needs of new grads as well as experienced nurses.
1. Nurse Residency Program provides new graduates entering the nursing profession and/or less than one year of experience connection with resources, support and guidance while focusing on patient safety.
2. Nurse Specialty Fellowship Program trains experienced nurses either new to OHSU or internal transfers who are new to a specialty-population so they have the expertise to transition to a new care area, such as critical care, operating room, or acute care.
3. Nurse Fellowship Program trains experienced nurses either new to OHSU or internal transfers, transitioning to a specialty-population that is related to their experience, such as procedural care, perianesthesia, and float pool.
