Graduate Nurse - July and August Graduates

Graduate Nurse

Providence is offering up to $6,000 hiring bonus for eligible candidates who meet all conditions for payment - this is in addition to the fantastic benefits and compensation package offered by Providence that begin on your first day of employment.

Under direct supervision, independently uses the nursing process to safely, therapeutically and efficiently care for a group of patients. Uses information from a variety of sources to assess, plan, implement, identify outcomes and evaluate patient's plan of care. The GN serves as an advocate for patients, families and caregivers to enhance the patient experience. New graduates are permitted to perform any function that falls within the scope of nursing practice for which they have received educational preparation and have demonstrated minimal competency.

The Graduate Nurse must take the NCLEX-RN within 75 days from receiving the Authorization to Test (ATT). Upon testing, the temporary Graduate Nurse Permit will expire immediately, and the individual will no longer be eligible to work as a GN. Upon passing the NCLEX, the GN will convert into a Resident RN job title; however, if the NCLEX is not passed, then the job title and rate of pay will be evaluated.
