Norton Healthcare is now taking applications for the next Student Nurse Apprenticeship Program (SNAP) cohort. Students set to graduate December 2022 through June 2023 need to apply by Oct. 1, 2021.

The program is designed for student nurses interested in learning and growing within Norton Healthcare.

“SNAP benefits both a new generation of nurses and Norton Healthcare,” said Brittany Burke, DNP, R.N., director, Norton Healthcare Center for Nursing Practice. “By bringing student nurses into our facilities, we are not only increasing their readiness for practice, we are teaching them our values and standard of care so they are ready to join the Norton Healthcare family upon graduation.”

The program was the first pre-licensure nursing apprenticeship program in the United States.

Applicant requirements

Applicants must be actively enrolled in a regionally accredited Bachelor of Science in nursing or associate degree in nursing program and in good academic standing. Applicants must provide the following:

• The most recent transcript from the nursing program in which the applicant is enrolled
• An up-to-date résumé
• An American Heart Association Basic Life Support provider card
• Two letters of recommendation from nursing faculty members. If currently employed in a health care setting, one letter should be from the employer.

A personal statement: Why did you choose nursing as a profession? What are your goals for graduation? How does enrolling in the nursing apprenticeship program assist you in accomplishing those goals?
