In October 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) published a landmark report, "The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health." The report makes eight (8) recommendations detailing an aggressive blueprint for action to develop a fully engaged nursing workforce prepared to assume a primary leadership role in transforming the healthcare system in the United States.

Versant RN Residency - The First Ten Years
Versant® Publication - “Improving Retention, Confidence, and Competence of New Graduate Nurses: Results from a 10-Year Longitudinal Database”
Recent initiatives by the Institute of Medicine, the Advisory Board, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, and the Carnegie Foundation all indicate that new graduate RNs are not prepared to practice safely and effectively upon graduation, that this practice gap must be addressed, and that new graduate residencies have been shown to be an effective strategy. This is the initiative that all participants in the Versant RN Residency, from new graduate nurses to Chief Nursing Officers, have engaged in addressing over the last ten years.
Versant Voyager
To create greater efficiency and enhance processes, Versant® employs Versant Voyager®, a web-based suite of workforce development applications. Voyager® provides the necessary infrastructure for ongoing RN Residency administration, implementation, evaluation, and refinement. Additionally, it gives access to a large number of users and provides a means to maintain consistent and uniform standards.
