Student Nurse Apprenticeship Program
The Student Nurse Apprenticeship Program (SNAP) welcomes student nurses during their junior year of a Bachelor of Science In Nursing program or with one semester completion in an Associate of Science in Nursing program. If selected, you can elect to work in one of our many hospitals throughout the region in multiple specialty areas.
SNAP is a 12- to 18-month apprenticeship in which you will work and engage in hands-on learning with an experienced mentor in addition to becoming acclimated to Norton Healthcare. Top area student nurses with good grades, good references and a desire to be the best will gain the skills and confidence to deliver quality patient care — and you’ll be paid for it!
