Kingfisher Summer Extern Program - Dec 2025/Summer 2026 Grads

6 Week Summer Extern Program

$18.00/hr

The summer Extern program was just what I needed to gain experience and boost my confidence going into this career. I appreciated the time each nurse took with me to help me learn processes and grow in my abilities. This was a very positive experience and I would 100% recommend it to future nurses.
