About The Position

Children’s Minnesota’s 10-week Student Nurse Intern (SNI) program gives nursing students the opportunity to develop their understanding of the nursing profession while working alongside a registered nurse.

Interns may work in neonatal care (NICU, ICC, or SCN); critical care (ED, CVICU, or PICU); acute medical/surgical care (Neuro, LSU, or Hem/Onc); peri-operative care (OR/PACU); inpatient mental health; or the ambulatory Hem/Onc Clinic.
