Nursing Opportunities

Student Nurse Program (STEP)

"Nurses at St. Patrick skillfully combine their technical expertise with compassion and spiritual sensitivity. They make a tremendous impact on the overall healing environment we create for our patients."
–Sister Celestine Kavanaugh, CCVI

The Student Training and Employment Program (STEP) is a key component of the student nurse's learning process, providing valuable hands-on experience while serving as a student nurse aide, transcription clerk or telemetry tech. The student nurse will work beside experienced nurses and staff while interacting with patients and families. The STEP students provide valuable help to the hospital staff, providing patient care as relief employees. Flexible schedules can accommodate a student’s school commitments.
