About our program

Caring for growing families is an amazing opportunity available at several campuses in the St. Luke’s University Network. St. Luke’s offers a full-time, nursing internship program to RNs new to the obstetrics setting, which includes experienced RNs as well as new graduate RNs. The internship program is a blended education that supports clinical orientation. It includes classroom setting learning, guest speakers, hands-on skills labs, and simulation scenarios. While learning the many patient care areas involved in OB nursing, the interns feel supported with mentors, coordinators, and selected preceptors. Our program is designed to provide an evidence-based foundation for new OB nurses, helping them to feel confident and competent in obstetrical clinical care.
