The health department just confirmed they are opening additional spots for our graduate nurses. I am honestly in shock that this worked, but it is clear that this change happened only because you all spoke up. Please keep watching the application portal to ensure these promises turn into actual placements.

Seeing 250 signatures here is honestly overwhelming because I started this just hoping for a conversation. This is entirely clear evidence that so many people care about the future of our new nurses. Thank you for making this matter.

Please stop allowing more overseas nurses into Australia, taking away nursing positions from the nurses who trained here and cannot work due to no Grad program.
Its very disheartening for grad nurses when the majority of nursing jobs advertised require one to three years nursing experience. How are we going to gain the experience without being given a chance? Doesn't the numerous hours of practical placement count at all?
There's no worse feeling than working tirelessly for three years to obtain a degree, graduating and not having a job to go to afterwards! Give us grads a chance, we are the future of nursing!
There are too many training providers pumping out EN and RN nurses. When I graduated, there were 23 positions available at one hospital for new grads and over 400 applications. There will continue to be a shortage of nurses unless new grads get training and employed in the workforce.
More graduate positions need to be made, if there is a shortage of nurses why can't more places be offered?!
Every nurse deserve a grad program.
Give us grad nurses a chance!!

Roger Cook - Extend the grad program- it’s not rocket science. Look after young West Australians before you waste money on importing them from overseas.
