Usually US hospitals offer student nurse internships during the summer months while you are out of school, between your junior and senior year (or between 1st and 2nd year if you're in a 2 year program), so you work full time for about 3 months. Typically they pay you about the same as what they pay their nursing assistants (about $10-15 per hour). A few might offer year-round internship opportunities, but I think they are rare.

Not many hire positions titled "student nurse". Usually you end up getting a job on a unit as a certified nursing assistant and you need to make your manager aware that you are in nursing school - Sometimes they will have a position waiting for you when you graduate if you find the right place to work!

I had a nursing internship at a hospital and they guaranteed every intern a job after graduation (they had invested money in our training, so it was a cost effective move for them to hire us later - less training). They wouldn't guarantee what unit you would work on, but they would try to get you in where you wanted to be, and you could have multiple interviews and weren't forced to take what you were offered.

Are you enrolled in a nursing program? The school generally finds the places for you your rotations. You'd need to be enrolled in a formal nursing program.
