Nursing Student Placement


Welcome                                               

The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) has twice named Children's Hospital a member of the prestigious Magnet Recognition Program for excellence in nursing services.Welcome to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Our goal is to provide high quality educational experiences for students in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs. Embedded in the mission of the Children's is a strong commitment to the education of our future work forces, your students.

The Advanced Practice Nursing and Research Department oversees and coordinates work with all schools of nursing. More than 640 nursing students from 29 schools of nursing located in four states completed educational experiences at Childeren's Hospital in 2011. There are various types of student placements including undergraduate and graduate experiences.

 

 


 

This informational day explains the different roles and responsibilities a Children's nurse has in the ER, OR, NICU, PICU, PARU, Transport and Acute Care Units.  Virtual tours will be given during the presentation, along with a nursing forum for nursing students to ask candid questions to Children's nurses who work in these departments.  A visit from Children's Human Resources department ends the program with important interview techniques/suggestions and how to apply at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.

Synergy Model of Care Delivery 

  • Synergy is a model of care delivery, in which eight patient needs are matched with eight clinician competencies, working towards a common goal of safe passage through the experience of care.
     
  • Safe passage requires the nurse to know the patient/family and the patient/family to know their nurse.
     
  • When patient needs and nurse competencies are in synergy, optimal patient outcomes are more likely to occur.

Find more information regarding synergy on the Faculty Orientation Page.


Student Information Sheet A new form for student's requesting a senior capstone experience (preceptorship) at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin has been created. The form was developed after receiving feedback from preceptors stating that they would like more information up front on any student doing a one-on-one experience. Please complete form and send it to Diane Dooley.
