How to use this kit

Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.

Interview prep

Expect behavioral scenarios (safety event, deteriorating patient, conflict with a preceptor), why residency vs. direct hire, and how you learn under feedback. Practice STAR stories from clinicals; know UVA Health’s academic-mission context, not just generic “I like helping people.”

Fit summary

Strong fit if you are a new grad RN seeking structured precepting in a large academic medical center, comfortable with steep learning curves, shift work, and feedback-heavy first months. Less fit if you need remote work or a fully independent first role on day one.

Day in the role

As a new graduate RN in UVA Health’s Nurse Residency (Spring/Summer 2026) at the main medical center, expect supervised bedside care: assessments, meds, documentation, handoffs, and rapid response to changes. Residency adds structured precepting, classroom time, and progressive independence rather than a solo first-day assignment.

Skills to emphasize

Prioritize NCLEX readiness, safe med administration, prioritization, and clear SBAR communication. Free prep options:
