Summer Student Extern Program

The Student Nurse Extern Program is a 10-week paid learning opportunity open to nursing students who are within 1 year of their anticipated graduation from an accredited RN program.  Through a mentoring relationship with a Registered Nurse, Student Nurse Externs are able to enhance their clinical skills by providing direct care, practicing within the scope of a clinical assistant while receiving observational learning experiences of the bedside nurse by working one on one with their RN mentor/preceptor. 

The 2024 Program starts May 28th and ends August 10th, 2024.

Student Nurse Externs are per diem employees, which can allow for some scheduling flexibility; however, it is required that participants be available for the duration of the program and for the designated weekly hours.

Note, current ECH employees are excluded from this opportunity.
