Program Summary:
At Inova, we want you to succeed; that is why our New Graduate Residency program focuses on preparing you for your nursing career. Our nurse residency program is not a repeat of nursing school. As a resident of this one-year program, you’ll be given ample opportunities to expand your clinical reasoning, communication, and leadership skills in the acute care setting.
During this 1-year program, you will meet monthly for four (4) hours in a cohort setting. The cohorts provide for educational and emotional support as New Graduate Nurses transition from being a student to the role of the professional nurse. Our program includes:
- An evidence-based, blended learning curriculum with online modules, in person classes, and hands on simulation training
- Interactive group exercises
- A final evidence-based group project that will help improve patient care
- Access to state-of-the-art medical and training facilities, including:
