The Early Career Nurse Program (ECN) enables recently qualified Registered Nurses who have not undertaken a Graduate Nurse Program an opportunity to enter the Eastern Health nursing workforce in a supported program.
- Are you recently qualified?
- Missed out on a Graduate Nurse Program?
- Registered with the Nursing & Midwifery Board of Australia?
- Keen to improve your confidence, skills and knowledge in a supported program in the hospital environment?
- Keen to work for a leading public health service?
Registered Nurses who are eligible for this program meet all three of the following criteria:
- You have qualified and registered with AHPRA in the last 3 years and have been working on a fixed term, part time or full time basis.
- You have not been accepted into and completed a formal Graduate Nurse Program.

You will benefit from a structured, comprehensive induction program, regular study days, clinical assessments and regular feedback.
