To get started, eligible nurses must first apply directly to this posting through the CHEO portal. Once the NGG online portal opens (usually during the last week of April or first week of May), you will need to register as a Nursing User on the NGG portal ( https://www.nursescareerstart.health.gov.on.ca ).
Note: New nursing graduates may not yet have their CNO registration and as such will not be able to complete the registration process on the NGG portal until a CNO registration is received. Given this, we invite all new nursing graduates in this scenario to apply for a job posting at CHEO so long as you anticipate receiving your CNO registration by November 15, 2026. If an offer is presented, you must formally register on the NGG portal (pending receipt of CNO registration) and apply to a specific NGG job posting to finalize the recruitment process.
