Cadet selected for Army nurse training
University of North Georgia (UNG) cadet Isabelle Clark has been selected to participate in the Army's competitive Nurse Summer Training Program (NSTP) during the summer 2022 semester. The internship will provide the Bachelor of Science in Nursing student the opportunity to develop both her leadership and nursing skills.
A clinical elective offered at Army hospitals in the United States and Germany, cadets attend NSTP during the summer between their junior and senior years. Clark will be based at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas.
The NSTP, which starts June 27, accepts only top ROTC applicants to complete the four-week training event. Under the supervision of an experienced Army nurse, Clark will obtain invaluable hands-on experience. This one-on-one time will also allow Clark the ability to hone her clinical skills, develop problem-solving techniques, and gain familiarity with developing professional skills as a member of the U.S. Army Healthcare Team.
"I'm excited to be able to feel it out and see if it's what I really want to do," Clark, a junior from Davenport, Florida, said. "Right now my clinicals for school are an operating room floor, so I will get to see patients before and after surgeries, which is pretty hard to get in nursing school. The program is very competitive. So, I'm pretty happy to be able to do that because the Army options are pretty much only critical care."
