HCGNE Summer Externship in Geriatric Nursing for UAMS College of Nursing Students

With the aging population growing so quickly, there is a great demand for nurses interested in geriatrics.  This externship provides students with the opportunity to explore various types of practice settings such as research, education and leadership.  The student(s) will work in Little Rock at the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging, at the Walker Memory Center and the Senior Health Center.  Experiences will also include research at the NLR Veterans Administration Hospital and selected nursing homes.  The externs get to work with nationally known nurses and also obtain a broad view of the wonderful work being done by geriatric nurses in our community.

The 8-week full time externship begins after the spring semester ends.  This is a paid program offering a stipend of up to $4,000 plus tuition for enrollment in N4042: Summer Extern Program and Role Seminar (undergraduate) a 2 hour credit course.  The HCGNE is led by nationally recognized geriatric nurse leaders, researchers, clinicians and educators.  This group is excited to share their geriatric experience with young, talented students.
