NOTICE:
Job Shadowing and Clinical Observerships are suspended until further notice.
Requests for Job Shadowing opportunities at Hamilton Health Care System, Inc. are considered and approved on a case-by-case basis. Every effort will be made to accommodate requests.
However, because of the sensitive nature of health care, ensuring patient safety, infection prevention, quality of care, and patient privacy and confidentiality is our highest priority. Job Shadow Candidates must be Sixteen (16) years of age or older. Emergency Departments, Surgery, Medical Intensive Care Unit and Surgical Intensive Care Units cannot accommodate students under the age of Eighteen (18) unless approved by the Vice President/Chief Nursing Officer and Department Director. There is NO shadowing in the Women’s center (Labor & Delivery, Mother/Baby, NICU) due to it being a safety-sensitive area.
Job Shadow opportunities are suspended during peak flu season, November through March annually, and may be subject to cancellation or change at the last minute, due to unforeseen circumstances. At any time during the shadowing experience, the Shadowing Coordinator, sponsor, or Department retains the right to end the tour immediately without notice.
To apply for a job shadowing experience, please download the policy and complete the application. Applications can be submitted in person by appointment or faxed 706.272.6094 or emailed srussell@hhcs.org
For additional questions or to make an appointment please contact Sarah Russell at srussell@hhcs.org or 706-272.6056.
