The program begins the first week of employment with six consecutive weeks of skills labs and lectures to provide a safe and supportive environment for New Graduate RNs to learn and practice alongside peers and under the guidance of clinical nurse educators. Also incorporated into the first 6 weeks is a Circle of Support which focuses on the new graduate nurse well-being.

Monthly sessions cover broad based topics pertinent to all new graduate nurses such as health literacy and workplace safety
