To do in which country? For the US, it takes months of planning to get approval and the proper visa to be able to do this. Same for most other countries. Going to be difficult since summer starts in about six weeks.

It will be almost impossible for this summer.

For this summer, you are too late. You have to deal with immigration as well as getting approval from the facility and your school.

Most start around December for the following summer. It takes that long to get all of the approvals, plus permit time for immigration.

And I checked out their website. They are an agency, just like any other. They cannot get immigration things done for a month from now. And for an approved externship where the student gets credit in school for it, this is not going to work.

This is a company that places nurses. Simple as that. The above poster asked for an international externship and this is very different from that.

There is not one agency/company/hospital that can get things done for this summer as far as immigration issues to be able to do a externship in the US. It takes months to get things done thru the proper channels.
