on Thursday, November 28, 2013

Regis Aged Care’s Graduate Nurse Program will open from August 1, to assist students currently completing their Bachelor of Nursing to make a smooth transition into the work environment. The program is in its third year and places are being offered in Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland.

 

“The Regis Graduate Nurse Program is designed to facilitate the newly graduated nurse in becoming a confident, safe and competent practitioner” said Lee Jeffery, Regis’s National Manager Learning and Development.

Regis Aged Care is committed to growing the number of younger nurses in aged care and as such has tailored this graduate nurse program with the next generation of students in mind” he said.

The year long program sees participants working in all facets of the aged care environment including low and high care settings, dementia specific and palliative care units, and also offers paid supernumerary time and study days.

“Each graduate nurse will be placed in a supportive environment with their own preceptor to guide them through the program” explained Mr Jeffery.

Those who complete the program and display exceptional competency and motivation will also be eligible to take part in the Regis Leadership Program.

Applications for the 2014 program will close August 31 and more information about the program can be found at www.regis.com.au
