West Hospital 2025 Summer Nurse Extern Program

At Bon Secours Mercy Health, we are dedicated to continually improving health care quality, safety and cost effectiveness. Our hospitals, care sites and clinicians are recognized for clinical and operational excellence.

Mercy Health Cincinnati Market is excited to offer selected nursing students the opportunity to gain clinical competence and ease the transition from student to professional through a special summer program.

During the Nurse Externship Program, students are assigned to preceptors who are experienced Registered Nurses chosen for their excellence in practice. Externs participate in a number of clinical experiences and attend special seminars designed to enhance their practice. Externs are assigned to areas that match their personal interests and will complete clinical rotations.

The Mercy Health Summer Nurse Externship Program is a twelve-week, summer program from June 1, 2025 to August 22, 2025.

Facilities hiring summer nurse externs:

• Mercy Hospital - Anderson
• Mercy Hospital - Clermont

Externs will receive a stipend while in the program and are expected to work the designated schedule with an assigned preceptor, following their work schedule. Externs are also expected to attend all required educational experiences.

Everyone who works with Mercy Health is united under one purpose: to help our patients be well in mind, body and spirit. This drive, along with our history of faith, is a powerful combination. It gives us a shared calling to work toward every day. Join our exceptional team and help us continue to provide the highest quality of health care possible to our communities.
