About the Extern Program
Orlando Health's Student Nurse Extern (SNE) Program is a full-time, 8-week paid summer externship. An externship in nursing at Orlando Health will give you experience engaging with an essential piece of the profession... patients! SNE's have an opportunity to:

• Expose you to nursing departments or procedural areas you have not experienced such as: Emergency Department, Intensive Care Units, Operating Rooms, Neonatal ICU, Cardiac Catheterization Labs, Oncology/Chemotherapy and many more!
• Work directly with a trained preceptor... 1-on-1! This is an amazing opportunity to build a relationship with your preceptor and see first-hand a day in the life of a nurse at Orlando Health!
• Participate in supplementary educational sessions to continue your learning journey.
• Build your confidence as a future nurse.
• Work at one hospital on an assigned unit (assignment shared at the time of offer)
• Shadow! We know this experience is all about learning, and we want to help you find your sweet spot to start your nursing career at Orlando Health. As part of the SNE Program, you'll have the opportunity to shadow in other nursing departments or procedural areas (you may just be surprised at what you enjoy the most!).
• Work up to 40 hours/week (Note: SNEs follow their preceptor's schedule.)
• Explore/apply to system-wide Nursing opportunities before you even leave the program!

It doesn't end there! During your externship program, you will have the opportunity to network with Orlando Health Nursing Leadership, give back to the community, receive mentorship, and, most importantly, impact patient care. And, of course, have a little bit of fun too!
Spend your Summer with us!
