Part of Alleghany Regional Hospital's mission is to provide students with opportunities to grow and learn while they’re pursuing a healthcare degree. We do this in two ways – one through hands on experience and the other through the HCAid Program.
Summer Externship for Senior Nursing Students
This exciting 12-14 week summer learning experience is open to senior nursing students who have completed one year of clinical experience and have the ability to perform approved procedures. Our program prepares students for life as a registered nurse and offers a chance to experience nursing firsthand. The program begins the end of May and continues through the first week of August.
