Skills for Your Nursing Career
Hebrew SeniorLife partners with many area high schools, vocational schools, colleges, and universities as a clinical training site for students seeking an RN, LPN, or CNA degree. You’ll learn from nursing leaders and a care team at Harvard Medical School’s only affiliated senior care organization.
Regardless of where your career takes you, having geriatric-specific training will give you knowledge and experience that you’ll apply in most clinical settings.
Learning in Every Care Setting
Hebrew SeniorLife is home to Hebrew Rehabilitation Center, which is the country’s only long-term chronic care teaching hospital, and the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research. We also operate five senior living communities for independent seniors. This means that we can offer a variety of care settings for nursing students, including:
- Long-term chronic care
- Skilled nursing
- Post-acute rehabilitative care
- Home care
- Community health
Partnering with Top Schools
We train nursing students in inpatient and outpatient settings from partner schools, including Academy Health Care, Regis College, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Massachusetts General Institute for Health Professionals, and Labouré College.
Through partnerships with Simmons College and Curry College School of Nursing, we offer nursing students the chance to learn from seniors directly in a community health setting. The partnership also helps to improve coordination of care for residents at our Simon C. Fireman Community in Randolph, MA and Center Communities of Brookline subsidized housing communities.
RN and LPN students are matched with Hebrew SeniorLife by their schools. CNA students can explore the available opportunities on our academic programs website.
