As an organization on the cutting edge of education, evidence-based practice and professional development, the Brooks Rehabilitation IHL Transition to Practice Nursing Program prepares newly licensed Registered Nurses to care for complex populations and empower patients to achieve their highest level of participation in life.
This six-month residency is a structured, immersive learning experience that supports a precepted clinical orientation alongside the support of selected mentors.
Each month, high-level experts discuss clinical observations, link scenarios to current practice, present case studies and use simulation to help the newly licensed Registered Nurse build clinical knowledge in a dedicated, safe learning environment.
