Externships offer nursing students the opportunity to gain practical experience prior to graduation. Though you may find it challenging to find an externship opportunity locally, consider a summer externship outside of the region — it is well worth it. As there are a limited number of externships, they are competitive, and the application process for many begins early. Start your search in the fall, as some have deadlines as early as November.
