The Southern Arizona VA Health Care System (SAVAHCS) is now accepting applications for the Post-Baccalaureate Nurse Residency (PBRNR) Program funded through the Office of Academic

Affiliations (OAA). These full-time clinical trainee positions are temporary appointments for one year. Residency programs ensure a supervised transition to autonomous and competent clinical

practice. Successful completion of the program could lead to a full-time position at SAVAHCS. This program is reserved for BSN or MEPN graduates in their first year after graduation without

paid experience working as an RN. Clinical settings provide a range of experiences in the application of nursing science and practice, provide exposure to Veterans of varying backgrounds

and cultures, and foster graduated responsibility in carrying out professional functions. Veteran-centric continuity of care is stressed in transition of care from inpatient to outpatient

settings, acute and long-term care, critical care, and mental health programs. You will be an integral part of interdisciplinary teams to enhance clinical and leadership skills in a variety

of clinical settings.  Residents engage in a variety of didactic and academic learning opportunities, including onsite training in simulation and opportunities for learning through in-person

and virtual courses.  In addition, residents will participate in evidenced-based practice initiatives that provide skills necessary for future utilization of evidence-based practice in

daily practice.
