Start Strong with Nurse Residency Support
Partner with us prior to hiring your new graduate nurses for a seamless transition from onboarding through orientation and nurse residency. IONRP offers two flexible delivery options: Online, a fully virtual program ideal for facilities without residency infrastructure, and Blended, which combines online learning with on-site discussion groups led by your own residency coordinator. Both formats ensure new nurses receive the support they need for a successful transition into practice.
