Student nurse externships

U.S.A. Mississippi

Anyone know any hospitals that participate in the state nurse externship program over the summer?

I know that BMH in Columbus, NMMC in Tupelo, and UMC in Jackson all participate, but I'm wondering if there's anywhere else?

Thanks! :)

Do you get paid to do externships? if not, can you work while you do an externship or is it too much? or if you are already working as a student aide will they let you incorporate your externship into your regular duties so that you are still able to receive compensation? i know that the externship is to ultimately help you and this is probably a dumb question, but there is no such thing as a dumb question, right?????:uhoh21:

Yes, the externship I'll be participating in pays $11/h and I'll have to complete 320 hours of work over 8 weeks. I'm assigned a practicing nurse, so I work whatever shifts she does.

No, an externship is separate from a regular aide/tech job. Schools/hospitals must be signed up to participate, and you must apply separately even if you already work at that facility.

The nice thing about externships vs summer jobs is 1) I have to enroll in a simultaneous course so I get college credit for it and 2) Unlike a regular summer/aide/tech job, we're able to perform any of the skills we've learned/checked off in school previously under the supervision of our RN - so IVs, caths, med admin, etc.

I'm really looking forward to learning alot. One of my classmates told me today that she'll be at Baptist-Jackson in telemetry. I think she'll probably breeze through our EKG interpretation exams this fall after doing that all summer! :chuckle

Wow, that's a pretty good hunka change for a broke student. :) I'm glad to hear that you are paid, that takes the stress off, not having to worry about bills and such.

Hey,

Does NMMC offer housing for the internship students?
