The Iowa Online Nurse Residency Program (IONRP) is proud to share its October 2025 newsletter, spotlighting recent achievements, upcoming events, and inspiring stories from across our network. This month’s edition features IONRP’s impactful presence at the NRHA Critical Access Hospital Conference in Kansas City, where Director Nicole Weathers co-presented on innovative strategies for rural healthcare alongside partners from the University of Iowa College of Nursing.

Other highlights include:
• A new blog post and podcast episode on fostering belonging in nursing.
• A resident spotlight featuring Allie Compaan from Ridgeview Medical Center.
