Nurse Externship at CHI Saint Joseph Health

About the Paid Nurse Extern Program at CHI Saint Joseph Health

CHI Saint Joseph Health offers nursing students two opportunities:

  1. An 8-week summer externship.
  2. A PRN externship opportunity anytime of the year.

During the externship, you'll work alongside registered nurses at one of our facilities across Kentucky to apply the knowledge you have gained in your academic program to the clinical setting. Students are eligible the summer before graduation. The extern assignments will be at one of our CHI Saint Joseph Health locations.
