Offers of Employment
When you receive a resumé from an applicant you are interested in hiring, you can proceed with a regular interview process.
Your letter of offer for employment must be submitted through HFOJobs.
Once a confirmation of acceptance has been received from the new graduate, you must complete and submit a budget request online to receive funding from the Nursing Graduate Guarantee program.
Temporary Registration for New Graduates
Remember that once an offer of employment has been accepted, new nursing graduates must obtain Temporary Registration from the College of Nurses of Ontario before they can start working.
Please refer to the Nursing Graduate Guarantee Guidelines for more information.
