What I'm looking for
I’m a Nursing student with two years of hands-on experience as a Nursing Extern in an acute care hospital setting. I assist Registered Nurses with direct patient care across medical-surgical and telemetry units, including vital signs, blood glucose monitoring, pulse oximetry, intake/output documentation, and Electronic Health Records (EHR) charting.
I also bring experience from mental health and outpatient clinical roles, plus active certifications including BLS, ACLS, and CPI, along with Home Health Aide, Medical Assistant, and Mental Health Technician credentials. I’m seeking a Nursing Extern position to expand clinical competencies, strengthen critical thinking skills, and build advanced patient care experience ahead of RN graduation.
