Six Week Winter Extern Program
$18.00/hr
My experience as a nurse extern was truly life changing. It gave me the chance to connect with patients on a personal level while learning from incredible nurses who guided me every step of the way. I discovered the importance of compassion patience and clear communication in providing quality care. Every moment whether assisting with procedures or simply comforting a patient reinforced why I chose this profession. This role didnt just teach me skills; it deepened my passion for nursing and my commitment to making a positive difference in peoples lives. - Adrianna Summer 2025 Extern
