ABOUT NURSE EXTERNSHIP
The Nurse Extern program is designed for LPN nursing students who have completed one semester of an accredited nursing program. The program is designed to provide nursing students an opportunity to work and learn in dynamic and supportive clinical environments. As an extern, you will have the opportunity to improve your self-confidence, communication, critical thinking, and time management skills while enhancing your clinical competence by building on the fundamental and theoretical knowledge acquired in nursing school. In addition, this program will increase a student's awareness of the role of the professional nurse and the understanding of organizational structure and operations within an acute or long term setting.
Students who are accepted into the Nurse Extern program will be required to work a minimum of 16 hours a month. Students must work a minimum of one 12 hour shift as a Nurse Extender and one 4 hour observational experience per month. If a student desires, additional hours may be worked.
