Student Nurse Externship

Introduction

Must be in a Nursing program and currently in Nursing Fundamentals class or completed the nursing fundamentals class. No Exceptions. Please verify with your school for what qualifies as Nursing Fundamentals equivalent. 

If you have not completed, but would like to look for positions to gain hands on experience, check out Patient Care Technician or Patient Safety Attendant roles that can have you getting started prior to this requirement. 

Last year our HCA Healthcare colleagues invested over 156,000 hours volunteering in our communities. As a(an) Nurse Extern Student Nurse with Belton Regional Medical Center you can be a part of an organization that is devoted to giving back!

In this very flexible Nursing Student position, we provide a rotation for you to work in all areas of the hospital, including Inpatient, Critical Care and Emergency Room. You earn additional shadow time for Perioperative areas as well as Procedural based areas including GI Lab, PACU, Pre-Op, Cath lab and more. 

Nursing Students find the flexible schedule along with opportunity to gain more hands on experience to be a strong preparation for the continued step into the Graduate Nurse role.
