Student Nurse Interns

Course Description


The Student Nurse Intern is a member of the nursing staff who is trained to perform specific tasks under the direction of a Registered Nurse.

This unique eight-week internship gives student nurses the opportunity to practice hands-o patient care in an atmosphere which is defined by intense caring and compassion.

The experience begins with assignment to a unit and a preceptor RN who will provide the Student Nurse Intern with the support and guidance needed to grow professionally.

South Nassau's Student Nurse Internship Program offers a broad scope of hands-on experiences. State-of-the-art equipment and modern patient care units present Student Nurse Interns with a range of learning experiences.

In addition to direct patient care, additional experiences are arranged for Student Nurse Interns to observe in one or two areas of interest.
