Nurse Externship Program
Get a head start on your future by taking advantage of this opportunity to work side-by-side with our Nursing team at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
A Unique Learning Experience

Combining actual work experience with education, our summer Nurse Extern Program for nursing students is designed to promote individualized learning while providing participants with a distinctive advantage in their professional development. Students will share in the unique challenges that occur every day at our Magnet facility, and enjoy personal growth and skills advancement as a result.

The program begins with a formalized two-week orientation including both classroom and clinical components on day and off shift rotations. Under the direction of a Registered Nurse, you’ll perform basic bedside care and selected nursing procedures. Opportunities may also exist for observation days and extra educational programs offered by Nursing Education & Professional Development.
