Med-Surg Nurse Internship
Opportunities to Specialize in Med-Surg Nursing
The med-surg internship program is a six-week program designed to support new graduate nurses into their nursing role. Applicants to this program must have completed a nursing program within the last six months.
In conjunction with the six-month structured new graduate nurse program, the med-surg internship assists the transition from new graduate nurses to advanced beginner nurse through providing support, mentoring and education based on application of knowledge and clinical skills beyond the traditional orientation plan. The format for this program includes discussions, hands-on simulation, precepting and guest speakers.
The program will focus on communication skills, integration of leadership, patient outcomes and professional role development relating to the selected topics and development of clinical judgment. Opportunities will be provided to adjust content to the group’s experiences and identified needs.
