Employed Student Nurse (ESN) Program
Providence Health Care’s Employed Student Nurse (ESN) program provides an opportunity for RN and RPN students to continue their professional development and become part of a committed interdisciplinary team. This paid employment experience allows students to consolidate the knowledge and skills learned in school while gaining increased exposure to the clinical setting. Although the focus is on consolidation, as an ESN you will also learn through hands on experience.
ESN’s are considered supernumerary when working on the unit and are hired as casual employees. This allows for flexibility when scheduling shifts around school schedules. You can also apply your earned seniority towards your first job with us! Numerous positions are available at Mount St. Joseph Hospital, St. Paul’s Hospital and Residential care sites in many exciting areas. These areas include Acute Medicine, Surgery, Geriatric Care, Mental Health, Cardiac, Renal, Critical Care, Palliative Care and Maternity.
Two dedicated ESN educators provide orientation and support during your ESN experience and continue to provide support to you as a New Graduate with Providence Health. Job readiness will be enhanced through your ESN experience while the continued support from the nurse educators helps ease the transition from student to qualified nurse.
How do I qualify?
In order to qualify for an ESN position you must:
- Have successfully completed the equivalent of second year in a recognized nursing education program
- Maintain enrollment in the equivalent of 3rd or 4th year of the program
