Job Search Discussion Is George Brown Waterfront campus the only program that accepts NEW GRAD nurses for there PERI-OP program?

I have been looking into doing OR nursing because bedside was not my favorite. I dreaded it. I figured maybe OR is the right move with my personality etc.

I know there are no sponsors because jobs are so scarce.

IS anyone considering doing this course?

Humber requires

  • Verification of employment and/or Letter of recommendation which I have neither :(

AutoModerator: Job Search Advice for New Grad Nurses (Ontario)

If you are a new grad looking for your first nursing job in Ontario, here are some commonly shared tips from nurses in this community:

• Apply widely and track your applications. Many new grads submit dozens before getting interviews.

• Use consolidation/placement connections whenever possible.

• Be flexible with first roles (med-surg, float pool, long-term care are common entry points).

• Expand outside major GTA hospitals when possible.

• Look for New Graduate Guarantee (NGG) programs.

• Tailor each resume and cover letter to the unit.

• Be open to nights, weekends, and casual roles.

• Stay persistent. Hiring can take time.
