Explanation: 1. Versant RN residency program is designed to prepare new nursing graduates with educational
and emotional components to perform effectively in the work environment. Clinical ladder
programs focus on seasoned nurses and compensating them for the clinical expertise.
Mentoring and coaching are strategies to assist new nurses in the transition to the work
environment.
