Lehigh Valley Graduate Nurse Internship

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has any info on the Lehigh Valley GN internships. I'm going to St. Luke's School of nursing right now, and I dont graduate for a year, but I'm trying to make a plan of what i wanna do when i graduate. I really have my heart set on eventually working in a PICU... I love the ICU and I also love peds. So I would really like to get into the LVH Critical Care internship upon graduation. I am going to do my best to try to get ICU for my preceptorship and hopefully that will help. Anyone know how competitive the internships are? I will be graduating in August, so that may be good or bad. no one else in the area will graduate at that time, but its just 3 months after the other colleges graduate so maybe they wont be running the intern program at that time?

Anyone with any info about these internships please share! I'm curious! :) thanks.

Hi all!

Has anyone interviewed for the GN internship at LVHN? I have a group interview scheduled and I'd like to hear about the process from people who have gone through it. What was the group interview format like? What kind of questions were asked?

Also, if you've worked at Lehigh Valley as a graduate nurse, what are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance :):nurse:

How did your interview go? What was it like?. I have an interview coming up with them shortly too.

Their orientation program for new nurses is great, or was when I went through it a few years back. On most units, its a 3 to 6 month orientation depending on the type of unit. Critical care internship/orientation periods usually are closer to 6 months.

That's really great to hear! Are you still with them? I'm excited to have been hired into the internship. The only thing that concerns me is that you're not guaranteed a position on the unit you start out with. I guess I have a while to think about that...
