The Nurse Intern program is designed to allow nursing students to broaden their knowledge base and skills prior to graduation from nursing school. It also gives the nursing student a chance to work side by side with an experienced nurse and to see what hospital life is truly like. Some of the benefits of being an Intern at JCMH are:
- Development of organization skills
- Learning to care for a group of patients
- Enhancement of technical skills
- Further development of nursing thought process
- More rapid transition post-graduation
Interns at JCMH are allowed to perform many tasks and to actually work as a nurse (under the direction of a licensed nurse). Some programs limit this but we have found it greatly improves the skill set of our future nurses by allowing them to function in this capacity.
This is a wonderful opportunity to "jump start" your nursing career, earn money and better prepare yourself for your career.

Through our Summer Intern Program we offer a select number of educational scholarships to Interns who stand out over the course of the program. These scholarships cover the entire final year of nursing education at their selected school of study including tuition and books.
