Entry Level Nurse Navigator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level nurse navigator job?
Start by highlighting any clinical rotations, case management coursework, or patient education experience on your resume, since entry level nurse navigator employers prioritize hands-on patient interaction over years on the job. An RN license is typically required, and a background in oncology, cardiology, or care coordination stands out. Tailoring your application to show familiarity with care pathways and patient advocacy gives you a clear edge at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level nurse navigators?
Companies hiring entry level nurse navigators right now include Atrium Health, Ascension, and Bozeman Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from health systems, hospital networks, specialty clinics, and insurance-affiliated care management programs that build their navigator teams from newly licensed or early-career nurses.

About 8% of entry level nurse navigator openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with remote positions more common at insurance companies and telehealth-focused care management organizations than at hospital or clinic settings.
Are these new grad nurse navigator jobs?
Yes, many of the openings listed here are new grad and junior nurse navigator roles that explicitly welcome candidates with zero to two years of experience, recent graduates, and career-changers with relevant clinical backgrounds. A new grad friendly posting typically does not require prior navigation experience and accepts internship hours, preceptorship rotations, or a strong patient-advocacy portfolio in place of a long work history.
