Nursing Student in WV

Updated Oct 05, 2009 at 09:10 AM by jump2thamoon

Hey guys!

I had a quick question about working as a nursing student extern. I am currently in West Liberty's Nursing Program in Wheeling, WV. I am originally from Ripley, WV. In the summer or on my month long break in December, I would like to get a job working at one of the hospitals in Charleston. Do any of you know how much these jobs pay, and how hard they are to get? Where did you all work while going to nursing school? Thanks so much!!!!


Sarah

CAMC has an active and energetic extern program. I didn't know much about it and applied in Feb or March. I got in in May, along with 100 other nursing students and new grads just after they graduated. Paid $9/hr and i did nurses' aide work. HOWEVER, they really value you because they know you will be looking for a job when you graduate, hopefully a job on the unit that you extern on. So they treat you well, show you and teach you a lot.
Call them up and ask for the details. You may be able to get in now. Basically, you choose a unit (like Renal, Ortho, ED---whatever you think you are interested in. You interview with your top 5 choices and the manager chooses among the applicants. But there is a very good chance that you will get on somewhere, even if not at your first choice.
