The Graduate Nurse Transition to Practice Program prepares you to work independently in a diverse environment. To assist you in this transition process, the clinical nurse education team provides practical assistance and support in the clinical environment. As a Graduate Nurse you will have the opportunity to work at three of Northern Health’s campuses – The Northern Hospital, Bundoora Extended Care Centre and Broadmeadows Health Service.
The Graduate Nurse Transition to Practice Program helps nurses to develop the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career across the continuum of care. Support for Graduates is a key feature of our program.
The Program is run over 54 weeks, commencing with a comprehensive orientation, followed by supernumerary shifts. There are a variety of clinical rotations available to you throughout your Graduate Year and there is an option for full-time or part-time work (a total of eight shifts per fortnight).
