We're hiring for the Nursing Graduate Guarantee (NGG) Program!

The Nursing Graduate Guarantee (NGG) program is funded by the Ministry of Health and supports new Registered Practical Nurses who are within 12 months of registering with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) by providing them with a temporary full-time employment opportunity above employers’ existing staffing complement, to improve their transition into practice, and into full-time employment.

The NGG program aims to:

• Support new nurses in Ontario as they transition into practice;
• Improve the integration of new nurses into the workforce;
• Promote the availability of full-time employment or the equivalent of fulltime hours for new nurses; and
• Promote workforce planning at the organizational level.

Upon completion of the transition to practice period (12 weeks), we will transition new nurses into full-time employment or the equivalent of full-time hours for a minimum of 6 months (26 weeks) within one year (12 months) of the new nurse’s start date of the transition into practice period (12 weeks).

COVID-19 vaccination requirement – Pioneer Ridge

As per Ministry directive, the Corporation is mandated to ensure that all new employees within our Pioneer Ridge Division are fully vaccinated before they begin working.  The only exception to this directive is a medical exemption.

Proof of vaccination

Staff, support workers, students and volunteers must provide proof of COVID-19 vaccine administration that satisfies one of the following:

• the full series of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized by Health Canada, or any combination of such vaccines, or
• one or two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada, followed by one dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine authorized by Health Canada, or
• three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine not authorized by Health Canada.

For people who were vaccinated in Ontario, the physical/hard copy receipt and/or email receipt, provided by the Ministry of Health at the time of vaccination is acceptable proof of vaccination. Individuals who misplace their receipt can obtain a replacement copy by logging into the provincial vaccine portal. People who received some or all of their vaccine doses out of province can contact their local public health unit about obtaining proper documentation, per MOH’s COVID-19 Guidance for Individuals Vaccinated outside of Ontario/Canada.

A positive skin test means that at some point you have been exposed to TB. It does not necessarily mean that you have active TB. Additional testing will be necessary prior to starting work.
