The July Iowa Online Nurse Residency Program (IONRP) newsletter is now available, featuring resources and insights to support nurses, educators, preceptors, and healthcare leaders. This month's edition explores how psychological, professional, and physical safety influence new nurse confidence, engagement, and retention through a new Beyond Nurse Residency Podcast episode and our director's blog post.
The newsletter also celebrates the accomplishments of the July 2025 online cohort, recognizing 34 nurse residents who recently completed their year-long residency journey. In addition, readers will find information about upcoming cohort enrollment, the MCIRN Innovation Summit 2026, workforce retention strategies, and professional development opportunities designed to strengthen the healthcare workforce.
