Graduate Nurse

Hey there. If you're a nursing student and you actually like your clinical rotations, I've got something for you.

This is a PRN Nurse Intern role across our HCA Midwest Health hospitals in Kansas City, MO. It's built entirely around your school schedule. You apply once, we talk about what you're interested in, and we find a spot that fits. Could be summers or winter breaks. The goal is to give you real hands on time now and set you up for a Graduate Nurse position later.

What You'd Be Doing

You'll work under an RN's supervision, helping the patient care team with basic nursing functions and activities of daily living. Think of it as taking what you're learning in class and applying it directly.

• Deliver high quality, patient centered care as delegated.
• Help maintain a clean, organized, and safe environment for patients.
• After orientation and a skills check off, you'll get to perform higher level procedures once you've proven competency. It's hands on experience working alongside a nurse.

The Flexibility & The Path Forward

This is probably the most flexible program around here. We know your schedule changes with semesters.

• The role is PRN; we build it around your classes.
• We'll schedule a call right away to discuss your preferences and areas of interest.
• Openings depend on our units, but typical areas include Float Pool, Medical Surgical, Ortho Neuro, Ortho Trauma, Transplant, Oncology, Cardiac Care, Step Down, and PCU.
• You can earn shadow shifts to see other units and specialties.
• And here's the big one: you get the opportunity to interview early for a Graduate Nurse position when the time comes. This is meant to be your segue into that role.

What You Need to Bring

The main thing? You have to be actively enrolled in an accredited nursing program. That's non negotiable.

• Active enrollment and good standing in an accredited school of nursing.
• Completion of Nursing Fundamentals is required. You can even apply before finishing that course if you're currently in it.
