Student Nurse Tech Program
Join the real world of nursing . . . before you graduate
The Student Nurse Tech Program (SNTP) at Metroplex Health System (MHS) offers nursing students an opportunity to work on technical skills in the real work environment and receive financial compensation. Your clinical experience will include nurse-aide type responsibilities in a medical-surgical unit or in special care unit such as emergency room, maternal-child or some others. Your experience will be guided by a Registered Nurse.
Student Tech Program Open to Nursing Students
This program is an option for students who have completed the second semester of nursing school in an accredited BSN or ADN Program. In addition, MHS is interested in nursing students with a GPA of 2.5 or better, and who are willing to commit to a minimum of one day of work each week with an RN Preceptor.
Earn while you learn . . . as a Student Nurse Tech
The transition from the classroom to the working world is always a challenge and is particularly challenging in the world of healthcare. Before assuming primary responsibility for the care of your patients, and while you are attending an academic nursing program, you want to have as much supervised clinical experience as possible.
Upon graduation from nursing school, the student nurse tech will enter the workforce with enhanced preparation skills, making the transition from the role of student to Registered Nurse easier and with greater confidence.
