Employed Student Nurse Psychiatric Nurse

The NG Nurse Program is operated through the office of Professional Practice. The program provides support aligned around the needs of newly graduated nurses during their initial 18 months of working as a nurse. NG educator(s) offer in-person support, orientation, seminars, consultation, and workshops to support the transition from being students to autonomous nursing practice.

PROGRAM SUPPORT

Program support is made up of different components such as orientation, education, consultation, seminars and in-person practice support. The transition from a student nurse to full scope, professional nurse is a steep learning curve that can feel overwhelming and long. NG educator’s have a rotating schedule, working days, evenings, and weekends to offer support to NG nurses while at work. When the nurse is at work, the NG Educator(s) try to connect in-person or by phone to debrief, encourage, advise, validate and coach. NG nurse support also comes from the Clinical Program’s Patient Care Manager, Nurse Educator(s), Nursing Colleagues, Clinical Nurse Leaders, and the Interdisciplinary Team.

PROGRAM EDUCATION

Workshops

The program provides a series of clinical education workshops. These workshops are engaging, interactive, and relevant to graduates learning needs. NG nurses enroll themselves into workshops and seminars on Learning Hub.

3 Month and 8 Month Seminar

Seminars bring new graduates together to share and learn from each other’s experiences at 3 month and 8 month mark of the program.

One to One Support

Individual support can be arranged with the NG Educator(s) for debriefing situations, discussing learning needs, and providing extra support and education.
