I am a new RN graduate, how do I get my foot in the door and work as an RN with Jackson Health System?
New and recent graduate registered nurses will be required to complete a Nursing Internship Program before they can work in any nursing specialty at Jackson Health System. We receive hundreds of applications for all our posted programs and there are limited opportunities available.
