The Post Baccalaureate RN Residency Program (PB-RNR) is a nationally funded training program through the Office of Academic Affiliations (OAA). The mission of the San Francisco VA PB-RNR is


to provide a one-year transition to practice training program for post baccalaureate registered nurses supporting role socialization through robust, Veteran-centric clinical and didactic


learning experiences. The PB-RNR offers new nurses the opportunity to gain confidence and competence through enhancing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to care for our nation’s


Veterans. ABOUT THE PB-RNR Throughout the one-year PB-RNR program, the nurse resident receives support through 100% protected learning time to master the complexities of providing nursing


care as an advanced beginner to a competent care provider. The design of our robust Veteran-centric curriculum uses the 2021 CCNE Standards for Accreditation of Entry-to-Practice Nurse


Residency Programs and consists of a comprehensive four-part clinical rotation and didactic training program. Residents participate in precepted clinical rotations in ambulatory, acute, and


specialty care areas and conclude the program with leadership development training. Nurse residents participate in engaging and interactive didactic learning experiences, specialized


training opportunities, inter-professional collaboration, and professional role socialization in areas like evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and early career development. Upon


completion of the one-year PB-RNR, nurse residents are eligible for hire in a variety of locations within San Francisco VA Health Care System. APPLICATION PROCESS  APPLICATION PERIOD: MAY 1,
