Jessica Richardson, DNP, CRNP, PMHNP-BC • Program Director, Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Residency Program


• Birmingham Veterans Affairs Health Care System


I believe most NP residency graduates will agree that


completing a post-graduate residency program with VA was instrumental to both their personal and professional development.


Symone Everett-Day, BSN, RN, DNP • Trainee, Johns Hopkins School of Nursing


Throughout my training with OAA, I have learned


that VA not only impacts Veterans’ health through health care innovation but leads research initiatives that can potentially effect individuals’ health worldwide.


Mariana Block, BSN, RN • Outpatient Clinic Staff Nurse • Bruce W. Carter VA Medical Center


As a recent graduate, OAA’s RN residency program


provided an intensive and effective transition into my role. New graduates should apply to this outstanding VA program so similar opportunities can be extended to them.
