From the
students
"There is a limited amount of
clinical exposure available to student nurses, which is why
I decided to seek an internship at The Miriam Hospital.
My professors hold The Miriam Hospital with the highest regard
and encourage students to take advantage of the internship
programs to gain experience. The professionalism and competence
of the nursing staff at Miriam have upheld the reputation
of this hospital. Working one on one with a preceptor has
accelerated my learning curve and prepared me to assume increased
levels of responsibility."
Dennis A Tomaz, CNI
"I have been a CNI for over
a year on 3-East. The experience has been invaluable.
I have learned more in one year as a CNI than I ever could
have in school alone. My increased comfort level with nursing
procedures and patients in general has enabled me to feel
confident and competent in my clinicals. The nurses on 3-East
have been very supportive and have provided me with opportunities
on the unit. I look forward to transitioning to the role of
RN in a familiar and supportive environment. I would recommend
being a CNI at The Miriam Hospital to every nursing student.
I feel like being a CNI has set me up for success!"

The Miriam Hospital offers two collegiate nurse internship programs
for junior and senior year nursing students: The Miriam Hospital
Collegiate Nurse Internship Program and the Advanced Collegiate
Nurse Internship Program (Lifespan Program). Both programs have
been designed to assist future nurses in making a smooth transition
from student nurse to graduate nurse. Collegiate nurse interns become
preferred candidates for our graduate nurse residency program.
The Miriam Hospital Collegiate Nurse Internship Program
Associate and Baccalaureate nursing students are eligible to participate
in The Miriam Hospital Collegiate Nurse Internship Program. This
program consists of two collegiate nurse intern (CNI) levels.
- Student nurses may begin in their junior year as a CNI
Level I, which provides the opportunity for the nursing
student to master basic nursing skills and to develop the organizational
skills necessary to function in today's acute care setting.
- CNI Level II allows the
senior nursing student to shadow specially trained, registered
nurses on the unit of their choice.
Advanced Collegiate Nurse Internship Program (Lifespan Program)
To be eligible for this program the candidate must:
- Be enrolled as a second semester junior in a baccalaureate nursing
program
- Have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0
- Commit to completing 900 hours of training with a preceptor
(mentor) by the time of graduation
