Online
Facilities that do not want to build their own infrastructure for a nurse residency program may prefer the online option, which provides a comprehensive program. This 12-month program utilizes self-paced content and monthly live webinars in which residents network with other new graduates throughout the nation. This is a partnership between the new graduate’s employer and the IONRP. An IONRP residency facilitator and a site coordinator from the organization work together to support the new graduate nurse’s transition into practice.
Blended
Facilities with many new nurse graduates could choose the IONRP’s blended option, which provides self-paced content that serves as a base curriculum for an in-house residency program. In the blended option, nurse residents complete the online content at their convenience and attend discussion groups in their facility that are organized and led by a facility-based residency coordinator. The facility’s residency coordinator will also mentor and support the residents through the completion of a professional experience.
