FAQs
Students that have been accepted into an accredited nursing program are eligible to apply for the Internship. Ideally, candidates begin the Internship as they enter the nursing program. We do accept candidates in all semesters of the program, though most benefit is gained when joining in the first semester.
The Internship has flexible hours to accommodate your busy nursing school schedule! Interns have self-scheduling and are required to work a minimum of 8 hours per week. These hours can be completed all at once or in two 4-hour increments. In the traditional Internship path, simulation days will be completed on pre-scheduled days that are planned around the school calendar.
Nurse Interns are provided a roadmap that includes rotations throughout the hospital. As you progress through the Internship, your focus will narrow to the units you are likely to work as a Registered Nurse upon graduation.
We do not have a deadline to apply, though we encourage you to apply as early as possible. Most Interns that wait to begin in later semesters voice they wish they had begun in their first semester.
