Nurse Extern Program

We are excited to announce that UVA Community Health is starting our Nurse Externship Program next summer! The Program aims to nurture the next generation of nurses. Nursing students entering their final year of nursing school benefit from eight weeks of supervised, on-the-job educational opportunities and training. UVA Community Health nursing teams benefit from the additional support. This is a full-time, supervised, paid externship, and students will partner with their preceptors and follow their schedules.

The Nursing Externship Program shows our commitment to nurturing the next generation of healthcare professionals for long-term success. It is a win-win for nurses who get a chance to have real on-the-job training and learn UVA Community Health’s culture. Nurses who successfully complete the externship have the potential for an automatic offer of employment upon graduation.

Applications will open in December, and externs will be selected and notified in February. The externship will begin in the Summer of 2026. Our team will visit local nursing schools this Fall to spread the word. If you know of a nursing student who might be interested, let them know!
