General Information:

The Nurse Extern II program is a collaboration between Baptist
Health Lexington (BHLex) and eligible accredited nursing
programs. The school will have oversight of the practicum hours
set up at the beginning of the semester and BHLex will have
oversight of the NE II program.

The program offers additional clinical practice experience to
