• Essential to addressing current and future healthcare/population needs and retaining the new graduate (NG) workforce is the implementation of a NG transition model and learning pathways.

  1. Learning Pathways:  BSN nursing students enter a learning pathway in their final practicum that aligns with their practice area of interest. Students are supported by dedicated resources in clinical settings.
  2. Provincial New Graduate Transition (NGT) Program:  Transition support begins in the final education year, and continues through NG transition and up to 12 months post hire.

Key Learning Objectives: 

  • Provide an overview of the history of the BSN Model project e.g. need, partners and development. 
  • Highlight key aspects of the Learning Pathway Framework and New Graduate Transition Framework.
  • Discuss key learnings to date in implementing student learning pathways and the New Graduate Nursing Transition Program.
