WORCESTER – Assumption University and Saint Vincent Hospital are set to announce a new exclusive partnership on Monday that enables 15 nursing students with hands-on experience.
The program includes three eight-hour shifts per week on a rotating basis at the hospital. The students will work on the 24th floor of the hospital, a medical surgical floor and Dedicated Educational Unit which cares for patients with a wide range of diagnoses.
The program launched last week and runs for 12 weeks.
The program was in development for over six months and included Marcela Jiminez, a Professor of Practice Nursing at Assumption University, embedded for 60 hours on the 24th floor of the hospital in fall 2022.
