Allegheny Health Network’s Summer Nurse Extern program gives students hands-on experience in fast-paced hospital settings. The 11-week program exposes students to real life scenarios, testing the skills learned in school while also challenging students to expand their knowledge base. Including your Nurse Externship experience on your resume enables you to stand out from the crowd in a highly competitive field when applying to your first registered nursing job. Not only do you receive real-life experience, but the program can help you gain insights on which units you would like to work on following graduation.
Hear from one of our recent externs:
“During the summer as a PNA, I was able to expand my knowledge on various aspects of patient care and apply what I had learned previously to everyday real-life scenarios. The externship has really prepared me to step into the RN role when I graduate next year as the program has a hands on approach. The staff was quick to involve me with whatever they could. If there was an interesting case or a bedside procedure being done, they pulled me aside and made sure I was able to have that experience.
I always strive to put the patient first and meet any needs they may have during this stressful time in their life. No one wants to be admitted to the hospital, but you can really make a difference by being there for them and providing the best possible care. Without having a team that is cohesive with the same values and work ethic, it would be much harder to provide that care. Luckily, I am surrounded by professionals who are always there to help and look out for each other.”
– Zachary Clark, 2018 St. Vincent Nurse Extern
To qualify for a nurse extern position, you must be enrolled in an approved diploma/degree nursing program. We also encourage you to have had at least two semesters of clinical.
