Nurse
Extern Program
MGHS
will not be offering an externship program at this time
Each summer
Marquette General Health System offers a nursing externship for
third year nursing students. The program offers externs twelve weeks
of paid, hands-on training at our regional medical center in Marquette
Michigan. Student nurses are able to gain clinical experience on
a variety of units including medical, surgical, oncology, cardiac,
intensive care, neuro/ortho, hemodiaysis and the Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit (NICU).
The externship
is provided to approximately ten students each summer, and provides
students opportunities to observe, demonstrate and learn nursing
procedures under the direct supervision of an MGH-employed registered
nurse (RN) preceptor. The goal of the program is to increase the
extern's knowledge and skills in patient assessment, clinical judgment,
technical skills, organization, decision-making and problem solving.
Julie Higbie,
RN, MSN and Mary Reynolds-Keegan, RN, MSN coordinate the Nurse Extern
Program. "It's designed to stimulate critical thinking skills
for student nurses as they gain hands-on experience, making the
transition from student to RN easier." Higbie said. "It
gives students the ability to collaborate with other healthcare
professionals."
To be eligible
for the program, externs must have completed the Medical/Surgical
clinical rotation of their nursing program. For more information,
please contact the human
resources department.
