A nurse externship position is an employment opportunity with a healthcare agency where a senior level student is providing direct patient care. This is an employment opportunity; however, students can apply these hours towards senior level clinicals, with approval from the BSN Program Director, and if the nursing care that is provided by the student meets the outcomes of the clinical course. Any student wishing to apply clinical hours from a nurse externship position, for credit towards a senior level precepted clinical(s), should contact the BSN Program Director prior to this experience to discuss this option. Students will be billed for the credits of the clinical course(s).
