Participation in the MidCentral NETP Programme is an exciting opportunity to transition your nursing practice from student to competent RN, in a supported, engaging, dynamic environment. We promise that no two days will ever be the same! NETP is a key part of MidCentral’s philosophy of "growing our own" and retaining you through continuing education and ongoing career development. Programme design is based on international nursing research and provides a learning environment that allows you to focus on assimilating your undergraduate learning and experience into your RN practice. Developing the habit of reflective practice is a key programme philosophy, and you will participate in group professional supervision.
On completion of NETP, you will meet the competencies and standards of practice at competent level on the MidCentral Professional Development and Recognition programme (PDRP). You are supported with your career progression, and should you choose to commence a post-graduate study pathway in your second year of practice, you are prioritised to receive funding.
