First-year students in Dr. Marianne (Mimi) Snyder\u2019s class were visited on Thursday, Oct. 10 by UConn\u2019s partners at Hartford Healthcare (HHC) to explore and discuss potential employment and career opportunities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over 100 first-year and a few undergraduate students participated in two career exploration sessions spearheaded by the Hartford Healthcare Nursing Professional Development (NPD) Leadership Team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roxanne, Clara, and Meaghan showcased the HHC Center for Nursing Excellence, highlighting their areas of focus and transition to practice, including pathways for professional development. <\/span>Thereafter, Norma covered benefits, the RN student debt assistance program, and how to sign up for roles such as patient care assistant, student nurse technician, and health science roles. Getting into these careers can really set students up for success in the health care field.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The NPDs gave students a preview of their own personal work experience while they, themselves, were attending school full-time. According to the team, \u201cThe faculty and students were particularly interested in hearing about our entry-level careers as patient care technician\/patient care assistant, student nurse technician, and a variety of health science roles from phlebotomy\/laboratory assistant to rehab aid.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They go on to say, \u201cStudents were amazing \u2013 attentive, engaged, and eager to learn while posing questions. We appreciate Dr. Snyder\u2019s commitment to student professional career development and can\u2019t thank her enough for hosting these sessions with HHC!\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

UConn Nursing is committed to fostering partnerships with local institutions like Hartford Healthcare who share the same core values and offer educational and work opportunities to nursing students throughout their time at UConn and beyond.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a pleasure having the Nursing Professional Development (NPD) Leadership Team from Hartford Healthcare meet with our first-year nursing students and share with them the many clinical opportunities available at Hartford Healthcare while they are still in school and after they graduate,\u201d says Dr. Snyder.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
