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.
