Graduate Nurse Program

Nurse graduate program highlights

Our Graduate Nurse Program is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference, together, allowing you to learn on the job, as you move from study to professional practice. Graduate study days, education sessions, formal courses, workshops and supernumerary hours are just some of the ways we support you in your graduate year.

Most importantly, we offer educators, leaders and teammates who genuinely care from the heart about your success. Some have been supporting and educating others for more than 20 years – so they have a good understanding of what you’ll experience your first year in the real world.
