Catholic Health launched the Academic Partnership Program (APU) in the fall of 2022, strengthening our collaboration with many of the surrounding universities and colleges throughout Western New York.
The APU was designed with a primary goal in mind: to help students succeed. With a focus on students’ academic and clinical achievements, the program enriches nursing education through the shared skillsets and knowledge between higher education organizations and Catholic Health. Academic approaches learned in the classroom are integrated into the clinical setting, creating an enhanced clinical experience.
Catholic Health offers a limited number of paid summer internships for students in a nursing program. This internship offers students hands-on learning experience, while working alongside our skilled nursing team. It’s a great introduction to the care provided throughout Catholic Health.
Qualified applicants must be currently enrolled in a New York State College or University nursing program, have completed their junior year (third semester), and are entering their senior year (fourth semester) or graduating in December.
Students will be paired with a nurse each clinical day. This offers them more opportunities to learn skills, perform procedures and understand the collaborative approach to patient care in the healthcare setting. During their clinical experience, they will develop a realistic understanding of nursing practice by learning prioritization and organizational skills from a professional experienced nurse.
Those taking part in the program will be exposed to critical thinking skills and see the real-time impact their care has on patient outcomes. By working closely with bedside RNs, nursing students will be exposed to more patients and disease processes than in a traditional clinical setting.
How does this benefit our nursing students?
Catholic Health’s APU helps students integrate the Evidence Based Practice they learned in the classroom into the clinical setting, ultimately leading to better care at the bedside. It creates qualified nursing graduates that feel confident to progress in their nursing career by establishing a stable clinical environment that they can grow and learn in.
