How to find Externships in Georgia?

Pick up the phone and call HR at the hospitals you want to work at. They don't always put that info out on their websites.

start your search and put in applications early in the spring semester! some of the atl hospitals get bombarded with applications for nurse externs. i think the best programs are at the atlanta va medical center (contact tom badgers for an application: [email protected] ), st. joseph's hospital - atlanta (maribeth hartman at [email protected] or call (404) 851-7596 ), and piedmont hospital - atlanta (jo ellen hooker, rn, bsn, director of nursing resources...i don't have her e-mail or number handy, but you can call the hospital directly and be connected).

i worked at the atlanta va last summer and it was a wonderful experience. you worked one-on-one with a preceptor the whole summer. i got to spend half the summer in the or and the other half in the micu. some other externs also worked in the pacu or er.

Hi reenedeana,

I'm not sure if you noticed but this post was created in 2005.

When are you looking to start an Externship? Most extern programs are held during the summer. Are you graduating soon, is it an Internship that you are looking for?

Personally, I know that Dekalb, Gwinnett, and North East Georgia all have extern programs.

I'm a little confused about you comment regarding clinical hours, I don't remember ever being asked how many clinical hours I had. On my resume I listed the clinical rotations I had completed, but never the hours.
