Attention nursing students! Here are 3 reasons to join this Interior Health BC program

If you’re a nursing student, you already know that no matter how hard you hit the books, some of the best education comes from real-world experience.

Interior Health BC knows it too. They also know that many students are paying their tuition themselves. This is why they host the Employed Student Nurse (ESN) and Employed Student Psychiatric Nurse (ESPN) programs, which provide opportunities for nursing students to jumpstart their careers — and get paid in the process!

Want to learn more? Here are just three reasons you should consider enrolling in an ESN or ESPN program.

Skill development

The ESN/ESPN program provides nursing students in their second or third year of studies with unique assignments that amplify existing skills and abilities while providing additional professional development.

There are placements across the province in acute care, mental health, primary care, and long-term care. Whether you’re itching for some ER action or yearn to provide home healthcare, this program is a great way for you to identify your interests, work under the guidance of registered nurses, and get a competitive edge as you eventually permanently transition into the workforce. Talk about resume goals!

A program that works for you

Interior Health BC

With over 200 assignment options and more than 450 employment opportunities available, you’re sure to find the perfect placement for your wants and needs.

Plus, some of these positions can lead to bonuses down the road.

Interior Health BC offers recruitment incentives and loan forgiveness for full-time employees in rural communities and difficult-to-fill vacancies, which include critical care, long-term care, neonatal, and more. An ESN/ESPN assignment in one of these areas provides a valuable opportunity to get your foot in the door.

Ideal school-work balance

Interior Health BC

If learning is the most important aspect of working in the ESN/ESPN program, then flexible hours come in second. Nobody knows the demands of nursing school better than nurses, which is why the program offers flexible hours so that you can balance employment with your studies. It’s the perfect way to maximize learning while continuing to be an academic weapon.
