graduate nurse bridge program
As a graduate nurse, the number of nursing specialties you can practice might be overwhelming. If you are looking to explore different types of nursing, different departments and find your niche, our Graduate Nurse Bridge Program is the choice for you. Nurses will apply to our GN Bridge Position at Ivinson and will have the opportunity to rank your nursing interests. Our hiring team will then match you based on your interests and department capacity for orientation. You will orient to two departments and when a position becomes available within one of your departments or in a different department at Ivinson, you can apply to be placed in a permanent position. Some of the benefits of this program include:
- Explore different types of nursing and find the best fit for you.
- Get to know the staff and manager in departments before committing to a permanent position.
- Determine what type of work schedule appeals to you. Many of our 24⁄7 nursing units work three 12-hour shifts while our clinics work Monday-Friday, 8 – 5.
