The Nursing Administration Summer Clinical Internship offers a comprehensive, hands-on experience through structured rotations across all hospital nursing departments. This immersive program is designed to both support the nursing team and allow interns to tailor their experience to specific areas of interest. Interns will primarily work daytime shifts, with occasional evening and weekend hours as needed. Shift lengths may vary between 8, 10, or 12 hours, depending on departmental needs.

During the internship, each participant will be assigned one to two projects aligned with the nursing departments they support. These projects are intended to enhance clinical understanding and provide meaningful engagement in patient care environments.

Successful candidates will demonstrate core qualities essential to healthcare, including compassion, integrity, accountability, a positive attitude, and a genuine desire to work directly with patients. Preferred qualifications include CPR certification and training in blood pressure monitoring.
