OUR NURSING VISION At Inova, our nursing practice is grounded in connection, caring, compassion, and excellence through innovation, and the best evidence, in service to our patients, their families, our communities, and each other. OUR NURSING ASPIRATION Inova nurses are the most trusted nurses in the nation. Nursing Residency + Retention Inova provides a Nurse Residency Program for all new graduate nurses starting their career. This 1-year program, meeting monthly for four hours in a cohort setting, provides for educational and emotional support as new graduate nurses transition from being a student to the role of the professional nurse. The monthly meetings provide a safe environment for the necessary learning and transitions, focusing on time management, communication, dealing with stress, conflict management, as well as working with complex clinical scenarios. The residency also provide additional training in evidence-based nursing practice and provides an opportunity for learners to apply the principles of EBP to unit-based issues and provide solutions to real-time identified problems.
