The journey from a graduate nurse to a competent Registered Nurse can be both daunting and exciting.  We at Counties Manukau District Health Board understand how important that first year is for a graduate nurse.   We endeavour to give our graduates the best experience and training they need to make that transition.

Here’s what some of our graduate nurses have to say about Counties Manukau DHB’s NETP programme:

“NETP coaches are very accessible and supportive.”  They themselves are proficient nurses and are there to help when you need them.”

“My Charge Nurse always treated me as part of the team, not as a grad.”

“Study days are great, they helped me towards the completion of my post grad paper.”

“Middlemore has a very friendly, relaxed, open culture. It has a family kind of feel.”

“At Counties, grads are wanted, they are not taken on because they have to.”

“At Middlemore you get a wide variety of cases, with a wide variety of socio-economic backgrounds.  Even the paediatric patients can be quite acute.”

Your career deserves the best start, make the right choice.
