Nurse extern/summer job in Nashville/Clarksville, TN

Published

Specializes in Labor and Delivery.

I am a first semester senior in nursing school at Austin Peay University and graduate this December. I am looking for a summer job or nurse externship position for this summer and PRN for the fall. So far I've heard of St. Thomas/Baptist nurse extern program and Care Partner program at Northcrest. Ideally I'd love to get a job at Gateway Hospital since I live so close but am open to anything. Do any of you have any advice or other places to try?

Vanderbilt has one called VESNIP. But I think you have to go to a certain school or something. Get into contact with someone at Gateway. I hear they are really good at hiring New Grads and that can get you into the system. Have you looked into working for the military hospital near Fort Cambell. I forgot what it was called. Also Ive seen quite a few job postings on the usajobs.gov website in fort campbell.

On another point.

How do you like APSU? I have applied to the RODP program there and I havent been able to get much info about it. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks!!

Yes VESNIP is only open to certain schools including mine, but unfortunately I didn't get in. Yes I'm doing my preceptorship at Gateway and would love to get a job here after graduating in Dec.

I'll definitely look at Blanchfield at Ft. Campbell as well.

I love APSU...great program and teachers. Know alot of people going through the RODP program and have heard nothing but positive things.
