AUGUSTA — MaineGeneral Health launched a new student-nurse intern program this summer, and plans to enlarge the program next year.
Ten students — all originally from Maine — participated in the program.
The internships allowed students to get paid, real-world experience and have one-on-one mentorships with nurses across the medical center.
he program was such a success that the medical center is expected to double capacity for student nurse interns next summer.
MaineGeneral provides a range of medical services throughout the Kennebec Valley.
