In this role, the Nursing Graduate will demonstrate the knowledge, critical thinking and integration of evidence-based practice requirements within the scope of the Nursing Graduate Training Program. The Nursing Graduate learns to formulate patient care on the components of the nursing process.

Nurse Graduates are able to benefit from role development as they transition from the Nurse Graduate role to the Registered Nurse role, while awaiting their RN licensure.
