The graduate RNs will be taking up roles across 23 hospitals and community health services in the district.
NSW Women, Regional Health and Mental Health Minister Bronnie Taylor said it followed a February recruitment boost, which saw 54 new graduates in roles across the district.
“It is wonderful to see these newly-graduated registered nurses choosing to begin their careers in rural and regional NSW,” she said.
“I know the skills and experience these new nurses will gain will set them up for success into their future nursing career.”
Another 49 new graduate RNs will join the service in August, making 2022 the largest ever intake for the district.
District director of nursing and midwifery Christine Stephens said those who relocated and bought their families and friends showcased what the area had to offer.
“We are pleased to provide additional employment opportunities to so many graduates and it’s been incredibly gratifying to see so many fresh faces joining the fold,” she said.
“Previous graduates have applauded the learning opportunities that regional facilities across Murrumbidgee Local Health District have offered, and the reward of working as a part of our local communities.”
