UAB Nursing congratulates the latest nurse residents on completing their program. The nurse residency is a comprehensive, 12-month program for newly licensed nurses that helps them transition into more competent clinical practice.
Program participants develop professionally, gain practice knowledge, and are empowered to improve through implementing a quality-improvement or evidence-based practice group project. The nurse residents present their projects to their peers and unit leaders during a special session known as Seminar 12.
After the presentations, the cohorts vote for the People’s Choice Award.
Cohort 40
People’s Choice Award: Emma Chastain (RNICU) received this honor for her presentation titled, “Incivility During Bedside Shift Report.”
