Introduction

Are you a newly graduated or internationally educated nurse looking to solidify your foothold in the Ontario healthcare system?

The Nursing Graduate Guarantee (NGG) program, funded by the Ministry of Health Ontario, is specifically designed to support your transition into practice, ensuring you’re not only ready but thriving in your new role.

Overview of the NGG Program

Initiated to enhance the integration and retention of new nurses, the NGG program offers a unique opportunity. If you’re within 12 months of registering with the College of Nurses of Ontario—whether you’ve graduated from a Canadian institution or as an Internationally Educated Nurse (IEN)—this program provides temporary full-time employment above the usual staffing complement. This means you won’t just fill gaps; you’ll be an additional resource, gaining invaluable experience without the pressure of regular staff shortages.

How the NGG Program Works

The journey begins on the NGG online portal, where you match with potential employers. Once a match is made, you embark on a 12-week Transition into Practice period funded by the Ministry. This includes full-time hours, offering a robust framework to apply your skills in a real-world setting. After this period, there’s an expectation of transitioning into full-time or equivalent hours for at least six months, providing stability and continuous professional growth.

Why Choose CNCAP’s Nursing Classes?

Before you can take advantage of the NGG program, you must be registered with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), either in the Temporary or General Class, as an RN or PN. Preparing for these credentialing exams can be daunting, but CNCAP is here to help. Our classes are specifically designed to prepare you for the RN exams and PN exams, providing you with the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed.
