Job Description:
Overview
Begin your career with a 1-year Post Baccalaureate Registered Nurse Residency Program requiring no holidays, no nights, no weekends, no mandatory overtime and 100% protected training time for the entire 12 months while you gain competency, confidence, and leadership skills as a new graduate RN.

Thus, we support transfers within the VA System with no payback/contract requirements. This job posting is for the 12 month residency program. The resident is expected to identify and apply for a permanent role within the national VA system toward the end of the 12 month residency year, for a seamless transition to a permanent role.
