Not sure what specialty is right for you? You're not alone.

One of the unique benefits of the PB-RNR program is the opportunity to gain exposure to a variety of clinical areas before determining your career path.

"If you are a nursing student who isn’t sure what field or specialty you want, this program is great because you get to see many different services. You really get more robust nursing experiences than in nursing school."

For new graduate nurses, that experience can make all the difference when building a strong foundation for the future.

Applications for priority consideration are open through Aug. 31.

Sixteen Veterans. 39 medals and 10 ribbons. 🏅

Veterans from Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS) attended the National Veterans (Adaptive Sports and Arts - U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs) in July, competing across a variety of events and bringing home hardware in archery, co****le, boccia, swimming and more!

TVHS’ Adaptive Sports and Recreation Therapy program gives Veterans opportunities to optimize independence, elevate community engagement and enhance quality of life. Activities include cycling, golf, bowling, archery, pickleball, table tennis, rowing and more.

Want to get involved? An consult must first be placed by your primary care provider. Recreation Therapy will then schedule an assessment to learn about your goals and interests and determine which activities may be a good fit (learn more at https://www.va.gov/tennessee-valley-health-care/programs/whole-health/whole-health-recreation-therapy-creative-arts-therapy/).

Congratulations to all 16 Veterans! 👏
