Residency programs ensure a supervised transition to autonomous and competent clinical practice. 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, spinal cord injury/illness, and mental health programs. You will be an integral part of interdisciplinary teams and have the e opportunity to enhance clinical and leadership skills in a variety of clinical settings.
