Your education was your first step on your path to patient care. Let’s take the second step together. Our paid summer Nursing Internship pairs nursing students with registered nurses to grow your clinical and critical thinking skills. Together, we’ll turn your knowledge into practice.
You’ll spend 10 weeks working alongside our registered nurses for the patient care experience you need for your clinicals – and your career. Many of our nursing interns earn an offer to join our team as a registered nurse at the end of their internship. During our time together, you may care for patients in the evenings, weekends or on a holiday because that’s the life of a nurse. You’ll have the chance to work with your mentor in Medical Surgical Units and more.
