Description

Nurse Graduates are welcome to apply as they near completion of their approved Nursing program. Nurse Graduate interviews will be held with our Nurse Leadership team to ensure graduates are placed based on current openings and candidate's interest.

The employers of new graduates should utilize the following criteria for orientation of a new graduate prior to licensure.

1. The new graduate shall have submitted an application for examination to NCLEX .

2. The new graduate shall have submitted an application for licensure to the Board and have been declared eligible by the Board to take the examination prior to beginning orientation. Upon declaration of eligibility to test by the Board, the applicant is mailed an Authorization To Test (ATT) letter by the test service. The new graduate should provide a copy of the ATT to the employer to show evidence of having applied to the Board for licensure.

3. A registered professional nurse preceptor must be designated as the responsible individual to provide continuous, on-site supervision for the new graduate. However, a registered professional nurse may designate a licensed practical nurse to participate in the orientation for the graduate of a practical nursing program.

4. The new graduate may not engage in independent nursing responsibilities such as: delegating nursing functions to other nursing personnel, and independently passing medications or administering intravenous therapy. The new graduate should not be part of the facility's staffing pattern, i.e. does not carry a patient assignment.

5. New graduates are required to pass the NCLEX ? examination within three months of starting orientation. If the individual is not licensed by the end of a three month orientation period or has failed the first attempt at the NCLEX ? examination, the new graduate may function only as an unlicensed assistive personnel(UAP).
