A variety of nurse educator internship areas will be available (theory / clinical / simulation/laboratory). Program Length - The adjunct nursing faculty internship program is a 100-day residency held over 5 months/20 weeks [Monday through Friday only]. The program length of training will reflect the Weber State University semester timeline of 14 weeks, plus 6 additional weeks for targeted nursing education orientation and training activities designed to prepare participants for a seamless transition into the nurse educator role. Days/Hours: Each week will run Monday through Friday and will be a 40-hour workweek.
