BACKGROUND:
Columbia St. Mary’s Milwaukee is committed to leading the way for future Registered Nurses. Our Resource Pool Nurse Internship Program provides exceptional didactic and clinical experiences set to build on the skills learned in Nursing School and prepare you for your career as a Registered Nurse! Our Resource Pool Nurse Internship Program is designed with flexible scheduling in mind to work alongside your collegiate education. We KNOW Nursing School is HARD and we’re here to help - not overwhelm!
Our Nurse Interns receive hands-on, on-the-job training at the bedside working alongside our amazing Registered Nurses in all patient care areas, including: Med/Surg • Med/Surg Tele • Progressive/Intermediate Care Burn Intensive Care Unit • Neuro Intensive Care Unit Medical Surgical Intensive Care Unit Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit • Emergency Department
In addition, our Nurse Interns receive a variety of Shadow Experiences across our hospital! Here at Columbia St. Mary’s Milwaukee, we believe these shadow experiences help to bridge the gap between specialties, multidisciplinary teams, and bedside care providers. They paint a bigger picture of all the work that goes into caring for our patients. Shadow Experiences for Nurse Interns include: Perioperative Services • Staffing • Bed Management Administrative Supervisors • Rehabilitation Services (PT/OT/SLP) Case Management • Respiratory Therapy • Wound Care Bariatric Services • Testing and Treatment • Pharmacy Laboratory • Patient Transfer Center • Labor and Delivery Mom/Baby • Neonatal Intensive Care Unit • Rapid Response
Our goal is to train our own! Our objective for our Nurse Interns is that they will be fitted with a Registered Nurse position that fits them once they pass the NCLEX and obtain licensure!
