UAB Nursing would like to congratulate 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 their practice 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 seminar known as seminar 12.
After the presentations, the cohort votes for the People’s Choice Award. For Cohort 22, two groups tied for this honor:
- “Benefits of Laboring Positions” – Anna Vigneulle, Gracie Hinds, Kathryn Hardin, Kelsey Moon, and Sonia Junious
- “Snack Time! Improving Staff Mental Well-Being on Inpatient Hospitalist Floors Through Breakroom Additions” – Sydney Nguyen, Darrian Bryant, and Nicole Kocher
