Nursing Inter
May - August 2018 • Dayton, OH
What I liked
This internship worked well for me because I really wanted to go home for the summer but still wanted to get some nursing experience. I was really glad that I got to work in the PICU because I had never had any ICU experience before and learned a lot.
What I wish was different
I wish that I been less hesitant at the beginning of the internship. There was a lot more freedom than in clinical and it took me a couple of days to adjust.
Advice
I would advise anyone that wants to do a nursing internship over the summer to get as much as they can out of it. Once I got acclimated and started to ask to do skills myself, I had a much more valuable experience.
