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.
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...
