Information Sheet: Facts and Myths - Employment of newly graduated and early career nurses and midwives
In December 2014 the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) convened a National Graduate Nurse and Midwife Roundtable with key nursing and midwifery leaders and other relevant stakeholders to discuss and develop solutions to secure improved employment opportunities for early career nurses and midwives.
All participants at the roundtable agreed there was a significant problem of underemployment of newly graduating nurses and midwives, the causes of which are complex and varied. A working group was then established to address a number of key objectives including improving data related to students and registration numbers, research into graduate/transition programs and a document to address the myths that may impede the employment of early career nurses and midwives.
The following document has been developed by the working group of the Roundtable to highlight the facts of undergraduate education and to bust the myths.
