Program Details
The Transition to Practice Program (TPP) is a 12-month program designed to provide the nurse resident with an opportunity to transition into the role of a professional nurse under the guidance and support of our clinical nursing staff, nurse educators and program facilitators.
The program includes didactic and simulated learning combined with hands-on training in the clinical practice based environment, facilitating the nurse resident's transition from novice to competent nurse. Additionally, the program aims to create a strong social network that fosters a sense of community, support, resiliency building and professional development.
The TPP is offered twice a year to newly-licensed graduate nurses from an accredited nursing program with a passion for children. All new graduates with less than one year of clinical experience are eligible to participate in the program after obtaining licensure.
Applications for the winter 2025 TPP will be available September 30, 2024 and applications for the summer 2025 program will be available January 13, 2025. The duration a position is posted is determined by response to the position. All positions will be posted for a minimum of two weeks.
