Process of Externship for the School of Nursing
As part of the Nursing major, students are strongly encouraged to participate in summer Externships. Under the guidance of the School of Nursing faculty and staff, information is provided about internships although it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to set one up. Summer externships/internships are usually paid positions with each employer having different criteria for hire.
All clinical partners are requiring COVID-19 vaccination for student participation in clinical rotations. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required nursing students prior to beginning clinical rotations.
