Being a Nurse Tech or Intern
The Nurse Intern/Nurse Tech
program is designed to allow nursing
students to broaden their knowledge
base and skills prior to graduation
from nursing school. It also gives
the nursing student a chance to work
side by side with an experienced
nurse and to see what hospital life
is truly like. Some of the benefits
of being an Intern/Tech at JCMH are:
• Development of organization
skills
• Learning to care for a group of
patients
• Enhancement of technical skills
• Further development of nursing
thought process
• More rapid transition
post-graduation
Interns/Techs at JCMH are
allowed to perform many tasks and to
actually work as a nurse (under the
direction of a licensed nurse). Some
programs limit this but we have
found it greatly improves the skill
set of our future nurses by allowing
them to function in this capacity.
This is a wonderful opportunity to
"jump start" your nursing career,
earn money and better prepare
yourself for your career.
Application process for Nurse
Tech/Interns
Nursing students who have
successfully completed the first
full year of all classroom and
clinical work in an A.D.N. program
and/or through the junior level of a
B.S.N. program may apply for the
Nurse Intern Program. Upon
application they must show proof of
citizenship or eligibility to work
in the U.S. The following must be
completed and submitted to Human
Resources by the deadline date:
1) JCMH employment application
2) Nurse Intern application (the
student will select three clinical
areas of interest designated as
their first, second or third choice)
3) Signed Letter of Intent
4) Nurse Intern Reference Sheet
5) Singed JCMH Nursing Code of
Professional Conduct
The students will then meet with
nurse managers and members of the
Nurse Intern Committee for an
interview. Then the Nurse Intern
Program Coordinator will notify
students of their selection or
non-selection within 7 days
following the interview process.
Students will need to pass the
physical requirements for JCMH
employment (post-offer). After their
selection, they will attend a Nurse
Intern program training with a
luncheon to meet their preceptor.
Scholarship Programs
Through our Summer Intern
Program we offer a select number of
educational scholarships to Interns
who stand out over the course of the
program. These scholarships cover
the entire final year of nursing
education at their selected school
of study including tuition and books. As an organization, we
predetermine each year the number of
scholarships to be awarded. An
application process is in place for
those wanting to be considered for a
scholarship. Work performance,
attitude and aptitude are all
considered in awarding these Intern
scholarships each summer. This is
our way of rewarding those students
that we see as future stars in the
nursing profession.
