Nurse Extern (Tappahannock Hospital) - Summer 2027
In October 2020, VCU Health proudly acquired Riverside Tappahannock Hospital, marking a significant step in enhancing healthcare for our community. We are dedicated to serving the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck regions, providing excellent, affordable, and impactful healthcare services.
Located along the beautiful Rappahannock River, VCU Tappahannock Hospital is a vital resource for our community. While we operate as a satellite facility of the larger VCU Health Medical Center in Richmond, we uphold a high standard of care across our essential departments, including Emergency, Critical Care, Operating Room, and Acute Care Units.
Under the supervision of a Registered Nurse, licensed independent practitioner, or manager, the Nurse Extern assists with a variety of direct and indirect patient care activities. These direct activities may include, assistance with activities of daily living, comfort care, safety, nutritional support and performance of selected diagnostic and therapeutic tasks and procedures as directed. Indirect patient care activities may include maintaining a clean, safe environment, sterilization and ensuring adequate inventory of supplies and equipment.
*Note: This is a full-time summer externship for 10 weeks from May 24 until July 31.
