Nursing Education

Catholic Health's nursing education programs provide hands-on experience for nursing students and allow our current nursing staff to progress in their skills.

Programs for Nursing Students

• Immediate Treatment Assistant (ITA) program – provides third-year nursing students with a full year of experience in a clinical setting before graduation.
• Summer Nursing Internship Program – allows students between their junior and senior year to practice and develop their nursing skills. Each student is precepted by an experienced nursing staff member and follows the schedule of that preceptor. Nursing students should contact their dean of nursing if they are interested in a summer internship.

Student Placement

The Clinical Education Department works closely with schools of nursing, clinical coordinators and clinical instructors to facilitate a successful clinical experience for their students.

• Undergraduate Students
• Graduate Students
