About the Nurse Internship Program
Our Nurse Internship Program was created to allow graduate nurses time to gradually assume the duties and responsibilities that accompany the nursing role, under the direction and guidance of a preceptor and other members of the healthcare team. In this orientation program, participants spend time in unit orientation, complimented by additional classroom and group learning experiences. Orientation continues beyond the completion of the program by the unit preceptors for as long as necessary to assure competent performance of the new nurses.
Eligibility
Our Nurse Internship Program is designed for registered nurses who have successfully completed an accredited bachelors or associates degree nursing program and passed the state board exam. Any RN who has less than one year of experience practicing must begin in this program.
Scheduling
Orientation length varies depending on position. Program length is 12 weeks to six months depending on the internship. Shifts and schedules vary depending on the unit.
