If you're interested in a nursing career
Sneak-a-Peek job shadowing
Nurses of tomorrow can take a first-hand look at a day in the life of a nurse by shadowing a Clarian Health RN as part of the Sneak-a-Peek program. People 18 or older who are interested in a nursing career may sign up to Sneak-a-Peek by calling 317-962-2843 or by completing a pre-registration form.
The four-hour job shadowing opportunity puts you on the front lines of patient care as you watch the ins and outs of an RN's workday. A one-hour post-program session offers information on nursing schools, nursing degrees, financial aid and career options, including those at Clarian Health.
Sign up for an upcoming Sneak-a-Peek session.
Nursing Explorer Post
Real-world experience is what Nursing Explorer Post participants get when they sign up to participate in a program offered by Clarian Health in collaboration with the Boy Scouts Crossroads of America Council in central Indiana.
Young adults ages 15 through 20 literally explore nursing careers during monthly sessions that they help design and plan, giving them an up-close look at hospital facilities, nursing units and the inner workings of health care. Adult volunteers from Clarian Health mentor the Explorers throughout the school year and answer questions about work life, career options and educational requirements.

Continuing education

Nurse residency program
New graduates get personalized help to make the transition from student to professional life at Clarian Health. In collaboration with the University Health Systems consortium, Clarian offers a one-year post-baccalaureate nurse residency program to help RNs build critical thinking, leadership and communications skills. While working full-time, RN residents learn about patient safety practices and explore professional career planning. Mentors guide program participants to ensure their satisfaction and long-term success.
Career Advancement Program (CAP)
The Career Advancement Program at Clarian Health is based on elements that differentiate nursing practice, from novice to expert. Nurses who show above-average competencies as outlined in the Synergy Model for Patient Care may advance from Associate Partner to Partner and Senior Partner as skills and expertise develop.
- All nurses who join Clarian Health start as an Associate Partner.
- Nurses with three to five years of experience typically are ready to advance to Partner.
- Nurses with five to eight years of experience usually are ready to become Senior Partners.
Compensation rewards are tied to each level of advancement.
On-site BSN and MSN programs
On-site education programs make it possible for nurses to pursue advanced degrees without the traditional "hassle factors" associated with going back to school.
A partnership with the University of Indianapolis School of Nursing streamlines admission and registration procedures, provides on-site instructors, reduces the tuition for Clarian participants and defers tuition payments until the end of each semester.
Convenient classes for nurses also are available at the nearby Indiana University School of Nursing, with which Clarian enjoys a rich and long-standing partnership.
