Student Nurse Internship

The Student Nurse Internship Program at Community Memorial Healthcare is an ideal employment and learning experience for nursing students, and a great way to set your nursing career on the right path. Opportunities are available at Community Memorial Hospital – Ventura, Community Memorial Hospital – Ojai, and our Continuing Care Center.

The nurse intern role allows you to acquire practical knowledge and skills by working alongside interdisciplinary teams in a highly specialized environment. You provide direct and indirect patient care under the supervision of a registered nurse in the appropriate setting across the continuum of care. The internship helps you refine your decision making skills in a variety of practice areas and build valuable professional relationships along the way.

Community Memorial Healthcare offers multiple opportunities for nursing students interested in exploring a career in Adult Acute and Critical Care, Maternal Child Health, or Emergency Medicine. You will also have access to medical libraries and be able to participate in our continuing education activities, such as Nursing Grand Rounds, Pharmacy for the RN, and numerous other programs.
