OB Nursing Residency Programs

Specializes in Perinatal, Substance Use Treatment- Outpatient.

Hello All!

I'm hoping you all can point me in the right direction of some hospitals that provide a good nursing residency program with an OB focus. I will be graduating in October and would like to get started in the area I'm passionate about right away. It seems that the NR programs are the best way to accomplish that goal. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Versant (sp?) does. They are however VERY competitive; they only take the best of the best. Where do you live? I know of a program in California. You have to pay to get in, its a preceptorship. However, with as competitive as jobs are right now it could keep you busy and up to practice until you could find a job, and you would be building a resume in the mean time

I live in WI, however, I am open to moving anywhere for the right position. I am currently in an accelerated BSN program and have over a 3.9 GPA. I don't know that I would be able to pay for another program because of the huge expense of the current program I'm doing which also has precepted clinicals. Thanks for your help!

University of Colorado Hospital in Denver has an excellent nurse residency program. You must have a BSN.

You could probably get into a Hospital with Versant with grades like that. One of the hospitals in my area has one. I am not sure if you go to the Versant website if they list all the hospitals that use them or not.
