About The Position

The Nurse Internship is a paid, skill-based clinical role designed to bridge nursing education and professional practice through RN preceptorship, interdisciplinary collaboration, and progressive skill development.

Individualized placements are available in hospital and ambulatory care settings so students can explore clinical specialties while building confidence, competence, and professional identity.

The internship runs from June 1 through August 13, 2027, in Duluth or Superior, at $22 per hour.
