Job Description:
Job Description 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 2026 program starts May 11 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.
