The VA Greater Los Angeles (GLA) believes in supporting novice RNs in their transition to competent and confident professional RNs. RN Residency programs are recommended by the Institute of
Medicine, various professional organizations and accrediting bodies, and the Federal government as best practice. GLA offers 2 RN Residency Programs: RN Transition-to-Practice (RNTTP) and
Post-Baccalaureate RN Residency (PBRNR).
RNTTP is a 12-month program supported by the VA Office of Nursing Services. RNs begin training in the acute care setting and have an opportunity to explore other clinical areas of their
interest. RNs are oriented to their employed unit and are supported throughout their first year of professional nursing.
PBRNR is sponsored by the VA Office of Academic Affiliations (OAA). PBRNR RN Residents are hired as trainees with 100% protected learning time throughout the 12-month residency. The
residency follows a robust three-phase curriculum, offering yearlong didactic classes and experiential learning opportunities in the ambulatory, acute care, critical care, perioperative, and
mental health clinical setting.
The Post-Baccalaureate RN Residency at VA Greater Los Angeles is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (www.ccneaccreditation.org).
