Clinical Learning Experiences for Nursing Students

MMSC is proud to be affiliated with many local and regional nursing education programs by providing clinical experiences for RNs, LPNs and CNAs on all of our nursing units and in nursing administration.

Summer Internship Program

If you are seeking a valuable clinical experience where you can expand your knowledge and increase your confidence relating nursing theory to practice, then MMSC's Student Nurse Internship Program is for you. Our paid student nurse internships are eight weeks in length starting in June and ending in August. Under direct RN supervision, our student nurses have the opportunity to increase their nursing skills, competency and confidence in a structured clinical practice setting. We offer a supportive environment where students are welcomed as part of the team and valued for their contribution to the care of our patients.
