Area students participate in NMMC student nurse externship program

NMMC’s Student Nurse Externship Program exposes student nurses to some of the most advanced medical care available. This year, the Health Care Foundation of North Mississippi is providing tuition assistance for all 38 nursing students doing their externship at NMMC.

Student nurse externs participate in an intense classroom orientation, skills lab, seminar led by experts in their field and scheduled work hours over nine weeks with assigned preceptors.
