Graduate Nursing Program

Warringal Private Hospital are passionate about delivering high quality care to every patient interaction that they provide. This may be through a casual conversation in the corridor or through more formal nursing interventions. The communication between a nurse and patient is vital to building a patient’s confidence in their healthcare journey.

This program is available to Enrolled Nurses without notation and Registered Nurses.

Two rotations are held throughout the year in the medical and surgical wards. This however is again adaptable to the individual. We pride our program on being versatile and ever changing to what the graduate may be interested in completing. However if you aren’t sure the structured medical/surgical program is also available.

If you do have a keen interest in oncology nursing this can be made available through your graduate program as an example… in essence the opportunities are endless in our program.

We have 10 theatres that have recently been refurbished with state of the art surgical facilities. We provide a variety of specialities within this department which include Day Surgery, Cardiac Procedure Centre, Anaesthetic, Scrub/Scout and Post Anaesthetic Care Unit.
