Who is eligible to participate in the CHKD Nursing Student Extern Program?
The extern program is designed for students who have taken at least 2 full semesters of clinical rotations as part of their nursing program — which means that most of our externs are in-between their junior and senior years of nursing schools. We accept students from all types of RN programs (ADN, Diploma, BSN, etc.) as long as they have had 2 semesters of clinical. It is not necessary that the clinical has included pediatrics. Many programs have peds in the senior year and we understand that.
