Multi Unit Nurse Externship - May 2026 grads

Aurora Sinai has an innovative program for nursing students interested in gaining additional skills, and seeking to develop their nursing process in preparation to becoming a graduate nurse. In this program nursing students will have the opportunity to complete rotations in three units at Aurora Sinai. Each month the student will move to a different unit with opportunity to learn about the unit's patient population, unit's culture, leaders and interact with staff. 

Units included:

Med Surg Ortho 

Acute Care for the Elderly/Stroke/Observation

Cardiac Medical Telemetry

At the end of the externship the nursing student will promote to a graduate nurse position in the area that best fits their skills, interests and professional goals.

The nurse extern program at Aurora Sinai aims to narrow the gap between nursing school and professional nursing. Nurse externs have historically been more successful in the transition into the nursing profession, many times requiring shorter orientation than students who did not complete an externship. This is a great opportunity to start a career in nursing at a site committed to service and Health Equity.

Candidates must be available to start December 29, 2025 or January 12, 2026 and be available 1 day a week until graduation.

School transcripts required with Med Surg and pharmacology courses successfully completed.
