"Overall, my externship experience was amazing! If I had the opportunity to apply again, I would! Everyone I got to work with was phenomenal and it was clear they truly cared to mentor and guide me through it all! As someone graduating in December and pursuing a post grad nursing career at Mercy, I would encourage every student to apply! Not only did this experience give me a look into the atmosphere of the hospital but I also gained so much confidence in myself and my skills. I couldn’t thank everyone at Mercy enough for this opportunity and the support given to me throughout the externship."
