Aspirus accepting applications for apprentice program
The program is geared towards new nurses who are seeking a hospital position but may be unsure of where they want to practice, according to an Aspirus press release.
"This unique program offers new graduate nurses the opportunity to work in several different inpatient hospital departments prior to selecting a final position," the release states. "Throughout the program, nurses experience different patient populations, unit cultures and workflows before committing to a unit."
The NGA program currently offers two versions - classic and critical care.
The classic is one year in length and allows new nurses to experience seven inpatient units, six weeks at a time, both in med/surg and intensive care unit (ICU) step-down. The critical care version is six months in length and takes new nurses down one of two paths, cardiac or med/surg. At the conclusion of the full rotation, the nurse will meet with leaders to discuss what they think is the best-matched unit. If a nurse finds a unit where they would like to stay permanently, the NGA program staff will work with the unit leadership to get the nurse a position there, the release states.
"The goal is to help nurses find what ultimately makes them happy, because when you do what you love, you can provide the best care possible," Aspirus NGA Program Manager Elizabeth Flora explained.
Applications are accepted year-round for the NGA program. Nurses must be in their last semester or within six months of graduation from nursing school and obtain a registered nursing license prior to their start date.
