Walla Walla General Hospital Debuts RN Residency Program
Walla Walla General Hospital will begin offering a nurse residency program in August. The hospital is teaming up with Versant, a not-for-profit organization specializing in nurse residencies, to offer this 18-week program designed to help new nursing graduates get up to speed quickly and safely.
With instructor led courses, guided clinical experience and a dedicated mentor, the program provides consistency and support in training for new nurses. The program will increase the confidence and competency of new nurses, lessen turnover and improve employee, physician, and patient satisfaction. WWGH is the first hospital in Washington State to offer the Versant RN residency program and joins several other Adventist Health hospitals that already offer the same program.
