Our March newsletter brings updates from across the Iowa Online Nurse Residency Program—including national advocacy in Washington, D.C., new learning resources, and exciting events ahead.
This month, we highlight Director Nicole Weathers’ role representing Iowa at NRHA’s Rural Health Policy Institute, where she shared the needs of the rural nursing workforce with national leaders. You’ll also find Nicole’s latest blog post and a new podcast episode featuring AACN President Rebekah Marsh, both centered on building and sustaining healthy work environments.
We’re also welcoming our first online cohort of 2026, celebrating the 39 new nurse residents beginning their transition‑to‑practice journey. Plus, enrollment is now open for our April cohort, and our team is gearing up for national engagements at the ANPD Aspire Convention and the ANCC PDP Summit.
There’s much more to explore in this month’s edition.
