Versant

What do you like best?

The guidance provided within Versant allowed for a seamless transition from student nurse to registered nurse. It allowed me to gain confidence as the orienting went on week by week, until I felt comfortable practicing on my own. Even before the end of the program I felt that I had been given the proper tools to start my career as a functional and competent RN.

What do you dislike?

It was hard to bounce back and forth between classroom hours and clinical hours. I felt like the time in class could have been utilized much better with additional case studies instead of lectures that were somewhat of a repeat of nursing school. A little more emphasis on clinical learning environments and unit policies could have been beneficial.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The business problem that Versant solves is the transition from formalized education into the workplace. New nurses lack confidence, knowledge base, and actual clinical experience in repeated situations. Those situations build a knowledge base that is necessary to provide adequate patient care. New nurses often times struggle to meet the needs of their patient because of the high demands of the job and their lack of experience. The Versant Program helps to facilitate this experience.
