The Nurse Extern Program offers a unique opportunity for nursing students to build an excellent clinical skill set in a real world work environment. Under the direction of a RN, the nurse extern contributes to the clinical care of patients. Externs have opportunities in a number of clinical and specialty areas with flexible scheduling determined by the student’s school schedule and specific unit needs. Nurse extern positions are posted biannually (May & October) and the program lasts through the completion of the extern’s nursing degree. Start dates typically begin during summer break and over winter break. The program includes an offer of employment at Kadlec Regional Medical Center to nurse externs and requires participation in Kadlec’s tuition assistance program of $3,000 per calendar year.

Acute Care Nurse Requirements
Our nursing leadership is dedicated to the advancement of the nursing profession and have committed to developing a nursing workforce educated with a bachelor’s degree or higher in nursing. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to our patients. Employing registered nurses with a BSN contributes significantly to our patients' care:
- Research indicates that patients experience decreased mortality, improved quality outcomes and reduced adverse events when cared for by registered nurses with a BSN, and
- As patient care becomes more complex, there is growing evidence that developing a more highly educated workforce improves patient safety and leads to higher-quality, more cost effective patient care.
Many Kadlec locations have resources in place to assist registered nurses with advancing their education. You can verify with your recruiter during the hiring process what resources are offered to help support your schooling as programs vary by location.
We partner with universities in the region, should you choose to attend classes. Your clinical manager will work closely with you to ensure you are able to attend on your clinical day throughout the program.
