Standard Approach
Regardless of specialty, all residents complete the same Versant core curriculum and competencies. They attend classes together and, in general, receive the same amount clinical experiences. This standard approach reduces variation in practice, which in turn leads to a safer, higher-quality level of patient care.
Knowledge Application
The Versant RN Residency provides residents with the right information, at the right time, in the right sequence. Interactive classes and skills labs are designed to build upon and run concurrently with clinical experience. As a result, knowledge gained in the classroom can be applied to practice quickly and in a more meaningful way.
Comprehensive Support Structure
RN Resident’s are supported—professionally and emotionally—by a network of senior nurses who act as preceptors, mentors, and debriefers. This dedicated support system gives residents greater confidence in their abilities, greater satisfaction with their new employer, and greater commitment to their profession.
