Benefis Health System’s American Indian Nurse Internship Program

When Benefis Health System http://www.benefis.org/ hires nurses who have just graduated from nursing school, their first job isn’t in the emergency room.

They usually spend a little time on the medical or surgical floor as a way to ease into nursing, said Fred Avis, medical director of tribal programs at Benefis.

Newly graduated nurses who take jobs in reservation hospitals typically don’t have that luxury. For example, nurses who land a job at the Blackfeet Community Hospital in Browning get thrown right into the second busiest ER in the state, Avis said.

That was the inspiration behind Benefis’ American Indian Nurse Internship Program.
