NURSE PRACTITIONER RESIDENCY PROGRAM Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS) Nurse Practitioner Residency Program is a twelve-month postgraduate training program with three tracks:

Geriatric & Extended Care, Mental Health, and Primary Care. The program offers the opportunity to expand one's existing knowledge base and strengthen clinical skills as a geriatric,

mental health or primary care nurse practitioner.   The Nurse Practitioner Residency (NPR) Programs are designed to develop competent, confident, practice-ready nurse practitioners (NP)

equipped with the knowledge and skills to address the specific needs of Veterans. The program will prepare the novice NP to function independently with confidence by expanding knowledge,

skills, attitudes, values and norms associated with NP practice across various sites that focus on Veteran care. The NPR program fosters advanced practice professional role socialization and

facilitate the NP’s journey toward population specific expertise. Our academic affiliate for the NPR training programs is the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing. The trainees will

spend 40 hours in clinical and didactic learning activities weekly to become proficient in competencies specified within the population for the NPR specific program. Twenty percent of the

NPR resident time will be dedicated to didactic learning. Upon successful completion of the residency, the trainees will be given the opportunity to apply for available vacancies within the

VA health care system across the country. INFORMATION SESSIONS Information sessions will be held virtually starting in January. To attend a session register by completing this short survey:
