Florida Children's Hospital is a hospital within a hospital, offering all of the advantages of Central Florida's most preferred medical center within a special healing environment designed just for children. Pediatrics is a special place that requires very special nurses. That's why we designed an internship for recent nurse graduates who are interested in this field.
Our 12-week internship includes didactic and clinical time with a primary preceptor. Successful interns must complete orientation competencies specific to pediatric areas. By the conclusion of the program, you must demonstrate clinical competence providing patient care to a full patient assignment as evidenced by:
- Direct care and collaboration with other health care team members
- Medication administration
- Documentation
- Clinical decision making
