Saint Louis University Hospital has teamed with Versant to develop the most innovative and comprehensive RN Residency program available. Integrated into our organization's structure, the Versant RN residency includes guided clinical experience with a preceptor, education and curriculum, a supportive component composed on formal mentoring and debriefing/self-care sessions, and a 360-degree evaluation and measurement process. As a Versant standard, all new graduate nurses hired by Saint Louis University Hospital are required to transition through the Versant RN residency. The Versant RN residency is the start of a journey from knowledge to knowing, moving towards competent performance at the bedside.

Versant provides a highly integrated and systematic approach to transitioning new graduate nurses by:

· Integrating, teaching, monitoring, and managing adherence to those standards.
