Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops has just hired 28 brand new nurses, a few of whom haven't even graduated yet.
It's part of an ongoing effort to increase the numbers of nursing staff in communities where they're needed most.
“Royal Inland Hospital is a great partner and has employed many graduates in the past. We are pleased that they have streamlined the hiring process which allows nursing students to know they will have a job prior to graduation,” says Rani H. Srivastava, Dean of Nursing at Thompson Rivers University.
As part of its recruitment efforts, Interior Health works closely with education partners to reach out to graduates and offer them rewarding career opportunities after they complete their studies.
“We always look forward to welcoming new graduates
and the energy they will bring to our hospital as they take
the first steps of their health-care careers.”
~ Tracey Rannie, executive director of clinical operations at Royal Inland Hospital
Across our region, Interior Health has hired 108 nursing students who have recently or who are about to graduate during the 2021/2022 academic year.
