Upon completion of the NETP year, nursing graduates will meet competencies and standards of practice in order to progress to competent level on the Professional Development and Recognition programme (PDRP) determined by the Nursing Council of New Zealand and Capital, Coast and Hutt Valley District.
Capital, Coast and Hutt Valley District offers an embedded curriculum within the NETP programme to support the development of practice to competent level on the PDRP.
The primary focus of this professional development is physical health assessment and making clinical judgements at a competent nurse level. Capital, Coast and Hutt Valley District understands the demands and stresses faced by NETP graduates when they commence their first year of practice and are committed to provide clinical support.
The Nurse Entry to Practice Programme (NETP) accommodates NETP graduates within the hospital, aged and residential care, and primary care settings. The aim of the NETP programme is to provide graduate registered nurses support and professional development to facilitate their transition during their first year of practice.
