The summer of 2012 marks the fourth year of the Via West
Summer Nurse Internship Program that began with a generous grant from The
Valley Foundation. Over the course of 11 weeks, ten nursing students and new
graduate nurses from San Jose State and San Diego State will complete a
community health nursing curriculum focused on the specific needs of children,
teens and adults with developmental and physical disabilities. In addition to
providing an extra layer of care for participants with medical issues, the
internship serves as a mechanism to increase the pool of nurses who are
comfortable and competent meeting the special needs of our population.
