About the PA-NRC and Steering Council

The PA Nurse Residency Collaborative (PA-NRC)

The PA-NRC was established in 2016 as a partnership of the Pennsylvania Action Coalition and Vizient, Inc. to implement residency programs in Pennsylvania and to provide an additional layer of support. All hospitals and health systems in Pennsylvania that have purchased the Vizient/AACN PA-Nurse Residency Program (NRP) are members of the PA-NRC.

Benefits of participating in the PA-NRC include:

Direct advancement of a key recommendation of the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) to implement nurse residency programs
Access to the Vizient/AACN Nurse Residency Program at a discounted rate
Participation in state-specific resources and state-layer support from the PA-NRC:
- Training and program coordination
- Communications and resource sharing
- Networking - Quarterly virtual/in-person meetings with Steering Council leadership, Vizient Annual Conference, PA-NRC Summit with the PA Organization of Nurse Leaders (PONL)

Who is the PA Nurse Residency Collaborative?

Learn WHY the PA-NRC was founded, WHO the PA-NRC is, and HOW we can help you in bolstering the success of your NRP.

Additionally, if you do not have the NRP at your institution, we invite you to watch this webinar to learn more about the PA-NRC and how we could partner to better support nurses in their transition to practice.

If you want to learn more about the PA Nurse Residency Collaborative or the Nurse Residency Program, please contact Amy Ricords, Director of Nursing Professional Advancement at

PA-NRC Membership Portal

Did you know every PA-NRC member has access to the PA-NRC membership portal that includes resources and recordings from past quarterly meetings?

*If you are a new member or have trouble accessing your account, please contact Zaharaa Davood, Senior PA-AC Manager at

Steering Council:

The Pennsylvania Action Coalition established the PA-NRC Steering Council to support the PA-NRC. The Steering Council is comprised of individuals from PA-NRC member institutions. The Steering Council leads the development of PA-NRC programs with a goal of state-wide collaboration, support of PA-NRC Coordinators, and the professional development of new graduate nurses across Pennsylvania.

Shining a Spotlight on Pennsylvania’s Public Health Nurses

We don't often hear about the work of public health nurses, but they have a big impact on the health of our communities. In this video below, we wanted to spotlight the work of some of the public health nurses in Pennsylvania, including nurses at our Philadelphia Nurse-Family Partnership and Mabel Morris Family Home Visit programs.

Special thanks to The Family Practice & Counseling Network, Face to Face, Reaching Healthy, Parents As Teachers, the Philadelphia Nurse-Family Partnership, Mabel Morris Family Home Visit Program, and the Public Health Management Corporation. This video was made possible thanks to The Promise of Nursing for Pennsylvania Small Grant Program administered by the Foundation of the National Student Nurses' Association and the Pennsylvania Action Coalition.
