Nurse Practitioner Extern Program
The Hancock Health Nurse Practitioner Extern Program gives aspiring nurses the real-world experience they need to excel in their field. Successfully completing the program opens the door to opportunities for nurse practitioner positions. Students from accredited nurse practitioner programs may apply to participate.
Applicants may submit the required information during the open enrollment period of March 1 – May 1 of even-numbered years (e.g. 2018, 2020, etc.). Materials must be postmarked by May 1 and mailed to:
Attn: Director of Advanced Practice
Hancock Physician Network
One Memorial Square, Suite 50
Greenfield, IN 46140
Because NP Externs are selected only through our established enrollment and interview process, emails or cold calls to individual officers, managers, and providers are discouraged.
