Ohio State’s Student Nurse Externship is a continuous eight-week summer program in which nursing students work with highly skilled nurse preceptors gaining experience with multidisciplinary teams, in diverse specialty care areas in an atmosphere of learning and support. In this episode, we’ll speak with Deb Francis, OSU’s director of Health System Nursing Education; Sarah Susi, the associate director of James Nursing Transition to Practice, and three nurses who completed the extern program – they will share how this program is helping students gain on-the-job experience for their future role as an RN. Listeners will learn about the program, its benefits and outcomes, as well as hear first-hand experiences of recent graduates.
