What are the responsibilities and job description for the Student Nurse LNA Extern - Summer 2025 position at The University of Vermont Medical Center?
The Student Nurse LNA Extern Program is open to UVM nursing students who have completed their Sophomore year. Through a mentoring relationship with Licensed Nurse Assistants, Student Nurse LNA Externs are able to provide direct patient care under the LNA scope of practice. Externs will also receive observational learning experiences by working one-on-one with their LNA mentor/preceptor to a variety of different patient populations. The 2025 program starts May 12 and ends the first week of August.
Student Nurse LNA Externs are per diem/temporary employees, which can allow for some scheduling flexibility; however, it is required that participants be available for the duration of the program and for the designated weekly hours, which will likely amount to full time (36 hours). Hours will be based on unit, and nights and weekends may be required.
Student Nurse LNA Externs will complete the Nurse Assistant Trainee Course in the first three weeks of the program, which will include daytime classes and clinical time. Throughout the entire program, Externs will also be required to attend several mandatory in-person education events, such as the state LNA licensing exam and other professional development opportunities.
Interviews will be scheduled in April. Selected participants will be assigned a host unit prior to beginning the program.
