Summer 2027 Nurse Internship – 47th Annual Program

Program Dates: May 24 – August 1, 2027

Location: Main Campus | La Crosse, WI

FTE: 0.75; 60 hours per two weeks

🌟 Program Overview

For 47 years, Emplify Health by Gundersen's Nurse Internship Program has helped nursing students bridge the gap between the classroom and professional nursing practice. This paid, 10-week summer experience is designed to build confidence, strengthen clinical skills, and provide meaningful exposure to the realities of the nursing profession.

As a Nurse Intern, you will work alongside experienced nurses and healthcare professionals while gaining hands-on experience in patient care, clinical judgment, interdisciplinary communication, and critical thinking. Interns are immersed within one clinical area while also exploring other areas of nursing through observation and shadowing opportunities.

Whether you're building on your first clinical experiences or preparing for your final year of nursing school, this internship is designed to meet you where you are and help you grow into the nurse you aspire to become. For many students, this internship is more than a summer experience. It's an opportunity to discover what type of nurse you want to become, explore different areas of practice, and build relationships that can continue long after graduation.

The Nurse Internship Program is highly competitive, and we encourage interested students to apply early and submit complete application materials.

Bonus: Exceptional interns may be considered for continued employment opportunities and future RN positions following graduation.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
