                    If you’re currently enrolled in an approved Alberta nursing education program leading to initial entry to practice as a registered nurse or registered psychiatric nurse, working as an undergraduate nursing employee (UNE) is a great way to gain clinical experience and strengthen your nursing skills!

                    The Nursing Student Transition and Extended Exposure Program (STEEP) is an internship-like opportunity that provides mentorship and hands-on experience in high-intensity specialty areas. Participants will complete paid UNE hours in the summer, followed by an unpaid fourth year practicum starting Sept. 2025, leadership exposure in another nursing area and the potential to transition into a graduate nurse position within the STEEP area.

                    We acknowledge that what we refer to as Alberta is the traditional ancestral territory of a diversity of Indigenous peoples and home to Treaty 6, 7 and 8. We recognize and give thanks to the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations, all who continue to grace these lands and all future generations. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude.
