Enrolled Nurse Transition to Practice Programs

• The Enrolled Nurse Transition Program (ENTP) is a 12-month program that aims to support and encourage newly graduated Enrolled Nurses in reaching their professional potential by developing skilled practitioners enabled to deliver excellent patient care. Within this 12-month program Enrolled Nurses are supported and empowered to provide safe, efficient and effective nursing in what is their foundational, first year of practice.
