A “record high” number of new nursing graduates have agreed to work at NL Health Services this year.
The Health Authority says 93 per cent of the total graduates from local nursing schools have accepted job offers. That includes 203 bachelor of nursing students, and 167 practical nursing students.
Most have already started working throughout the province.
NL Health Services has also extended conditional job offers to students who are still completing their program.
They are also offering signing bonuses, improved compensation, bursaries, improved supports for work life balance, and tuition support.
