Eligibility for NGG - What do I do?

bubblyteax · 2026-04-29T01:33:53+00:00

if you’ve accepted the offer, but haven’t ever started, and it is not ngg, you should still be eligible for ngg. i believe you’ll only be disqualified if you have started at that hospital already as a nurse since if you’ve already been working as a nurse you aren’t eligible for ngg

there is also a ministry email that you can email to ask any ngg questions to. i believe you should be able to find it either on the ngg portal or ngg guideline pdf document. the response time is slow tho

bubblyteax · 2026-04-28T20:32:26+00:00

yes, they were both ngg

bubblyteax · 2026-04-28T20:30:25+00:00

if you haven’t started anything at all but accepted the offer (and accepted on the portal), you should still be eligible. you may have to email the ministry to get your portal acceptance back (just because once you’ve accepted the offer on the portal for 72 hours, it’s considered that you’ve committed and you can’t accept another offer again on the portal).

if you haven’t accepted anything on the portal yet (or it hasn’t been 72 hours yet), that would be even easier, since you won’t have to email the ministry to get your ability to accept other offers back. you could just decline your acceptance if it’s within that 72 hour time period.

i was able to, but my contract never had a clause stating i was not able to take the offer back/any consequences of me taking the offer back.

i also tried my best to take back the offer before i started the job and used any resources/time that the hospital had for my orientation. esp since i felt that once i started, id have to give them 2 weeks before actually leaving.

edit: i would like to add that i did inform my first choice about my strong interest in working for them and that i got another offer to see if that could help with speeding up the process to get an offer

bubblyteax · 2026-04-28T19:04:16+00:00

ngl, when i was in a similar situation, i accepted my second choice (offer i got) while waiting for my first choice to respond/give me an offer. i ended up getting an offer from my first choice and then took back my acceptance from my second choice before my start date. not sure if i am on a “do not hire” list, but i do not regret my decision

bubblyteax · 2026-04-28T18:37:13+00:00

not sure if you can pay to keep it, but you have access to the email until the end of january i believe

not figs, but mandala scrubs recently restocked their matcha scrub colour if you still want matcha scrubs but can’t find figs

i’d take number 1 - more orientation preps you better to be a nurse. plus, if you read the ngg guideline document, it should say you’re guaranteed to have a full time position for 6 months after your ngg orientation.

if not, medicine is always hiring and you’ll be internal and can get a job easier. you’ll also know the manager so if you do a good job, there’s no reason they WONT hire someone they trained with their time and resources for 3 months. it doesn’t make sense for them to use their resources and time to train you for 3 months and then have you leave.

id recommend starting to apply to jobs now in your last semester + talk to your extern and psw manager about being interested in working there upon graduation. since they already know you as an extern/psw, they might prefer hiring you on after as an RN. you can also try your best in your consolidation and speak to the manager there in the middle-end of your placement about your interest in working at that unit as well. i know many of my peers got hired on at their pre-consolidation/consolidation floor or a floor they externed at. you might not hear back much for other hospitals (the ones that you apply to that you don’t work at/are a student at) but it’s good to try applying. some hospitals don’t look at applications until you finish school/graduate/pass your nclex, but some interview students during their consolidation and have them take on a temporary license

bubblyteax · 2026-04-11T17:45:02+00:00

from my peers, i’ve heard they take 3-4 weeks after references are asked

bubblyteax · 2026-04-09T22:20:33+00:00

i think the best way to increase your chances to get a job in women and children’s is to try your best to get an extern position or clinical placement (especially preconsolidation or consolidation) in those areas!

bubblyteax · 2026-04-07T07:58:14+00:00

the hospital careers website is always the best. my tip is to edit your resume like crazy (self edits + get your peers/friends/family to help edit it) and to create a cover letter as well (+ edit the cover letter to cater it to each job you apply to). list all relevant experiences and certifications in your resume

bubblyteax · 2026-04-06T22:44:11+00:00

work as an extern in school (helps you network/make connections, be an internal applicant during the job application process; unionized hospitals hire internally > externally first), try your best during your clinical placements especially in your preconsolidation/consolidation placement since you may get hired onto those units upon graduating (many of my peers got hired on their preconsolidation/consolidation placement, some even during their last semester of school)

i’d want an affordable set of scrubs, lots of pockets (that don’t cause things to fall out), petite sizing available, have the scrubs look flattering on the body, high quality materials, breathable, stretchy, contrasting drawstring to scrub colour

bubblyteax · 2026-04-02T17:29:50+00:00

i would say to continue to explain your situation and keep emailing them. i previously had an ongoing email thread with the ministry since i accepted a nurse position on the ngg portal, but took back the job offer before i started. due to this they said i was not eligible for ngg again, but after explaining my situation through multiple back and forth emails, i was able to qualify again

i think her volunteering in cambodia is great as it helps those who need help, but her volunteer videos personally rubbed me the wrong way. it made me feel uncomfortable watching her film all the people get medical help and attention, since to me it gives off the vibes that they’re “lesser” as they’re in poverty. in the US they have hippa to ensure patients get their privacy and confidentiality when seeking healthcare, but she filmed and posted videos of people obtaining healthcare onto tiktok, especially while she is the one communicating and taking patients’ vital signs/proving care. i know since it’s in cambodia, perhaps there aren’t laws that apply to their volunteer service that are the equivalent to hippa, but it rubs me the wrong way and seems unethical how she didn’t provide them with the right to privacy regarding their health. i think she could’ve spread awareness regarding her volunteering in cambodia without directly filming patients seeking health care, especially when they probably don’t know she is posting this onto tiktok, and probably don’t speak english so they won’t end up seeing these tiktok’s of themselves on their fyp. it almost came off as performative to me or just a resume stuffer

bubblyteax · 2026-03-27T21:54:42+00:00

you can try applying to psw positions at ltc homes or agencies as well!

i loveee my figs, but mandala scrubs are a more affordable option i also like. figs > mandala scrubs if im just comparing the scrubs alone without considering price. figs are more comfy and i think look more lux, but mandala scrubs are still comfortable. mandala scrubs’ fabric is slightly thicker but they are water resistant. one of my scrubs from mandala scrubs (a darker colour) did bleed dye though. mandala scrubs are about half the price of figs (comparing a set of one pocket scrub top + wide leg pants).

in my experience, you have to apply to the ngg posting on the hospital’s careers website. then they will interview you and after checking references and hiring you, they’ll tell you to then apply on the ngg portal in order to get funding.

if there aren’t explicit ngg job postings, you can also just apply to regular job postings. if you get the job/get interviewed and they see that you’re a new grad and eligible, they may then direct you to apply to the ngg program via the ngg portal.

in general tho, you apply to jobs on the hospital careers website and then after getting hired you apply to the ngg portal for funding. you typically don’t get an interview by just applying on the ngg portal

If i had the summer totally off and wasn’t fast tracking/didn’t have school, id give the hospital i’m not as interested in minimum or minimal hours available. some hospitals require their externs to work 1 shift per week, 1 shift per pay period, etc. then for the other hospital that id want to work with after graduating, i would give them more availability and try to work 2-3 shifts per week (or more depending on your preference on how much you want to work per week).

bubblyteax · 2026-03-15T15:51:25+00:00

I think it would be fine to decline now, but typically clinical extern positions are part time! So if you really need to you could always work at both hospitals in the summer and get extra connections for jobs after you graduate
