NETP Expansion Programme: Primary health and community care
A supported learning environment is central to delivery of the Waikato DHB Nurse Entry to Practice Expansion programme
Clinical placements
Registered
nurse (RN) graduates are employed by partner organisations
participating in the Waikato DHB NETP Expansion programme.
One
rotation is offered but graduates are able to gain clinical experience
in other settings in negotiation with the NETPE co-ordinator and the
employer.
Orientation
There is a structured orientation both to the Waikato DHB NETPE programme and to the designated clinical placement.
Education
The
education programme consolidates undergraduate education and develops
knowledge and skills to enable RN graduates to become competent and
confident registered nurses. The programme includes a series of shared
study days, one post-graduate module (towards a PG Cert) and
placement/provider specified learning and skill development.

assist RN graduates to complete, by the end of the NETPE Programme, a
‘competent registered nurse’ professional portfolio in an accredited
Professional Development Recognition Programme (PDRP).Preceptors
Each registered nurse graduate has an assigned preceptor/s who has
completed an approved training programme. Preceptors, and other members
of the clinical team, work alongside RN graduates and support goal
setting and opportunities for reflection.
Support for Maori and Pasifika registered nurse graduates
Waikato DHB has a commitment to support the development of the Maori
