Nursing Students
Nursing student placement programs are designed to provide clinical experience hours for students to develop practical skills that will enhance future health care careers and bridge the gap between formal education and practical work experience.
Nursing student placement programs consist of the following areas:
- licensed practical nurse (LPN)
- pre-licensure (ADN, BSN)
- paramedic/EMT/LPN to RN bridge
- graduate nursing (MSN and DNP)
Opportunities
Nurse Tech Program
Our Nurse Tech Program is an employment opportunity for nursing students who have successfully completed their first semester of nursing school. Nurse techs are paid employees who benefit from a flexible work schedule designed to ensure a healthy school/work balance, on-the-job training and an opportunity to learn more about Floyd.
Students interested in Nurse Tech I and II opportunities should visit the
Atrium Health Floyd Nursing Careers Center for open positions (listed as Nurse Tech) and complete an online employment application.

Requesting Student Placement
To be considered for a clinical rotation, there must be an active Clinical Education Affiliation Agreement (CEAA) on file between Atrium Health and your educational institution.
- If you are unsure if your school has a current CEAA, check with your school clinical coordinator.
- *New, first-time, CEAAs are reviewed for need and accepted on a case by case basis.
- CEAAs can take weeks to months to execute. If your rotation needs to happen within six months of your request, we cannot guarantee rotation placement.
