Student Nursing Internships

Nursing students are often told they need to get experience in the real world, but how do you go about getting that experience and what is out there?

Well one way to gain knowledge and experience is through nursing internships. When most people think of interns they think of business, but a nursing internship may be the key to your future! Really, where else can you experience eral world situations and then determine if that is the career path you want to take.

Depending where you live and the diversity of your hospital options may be limited, however we can look at Florida Hospital in Orlando to get an idea of what type of interships are out there.

The three main programs they offer here are:
Operating Room Nurse Internship
Pediatric Nurse Internship
Perinatal Nurse Internship

What is great about these programs is that you get a good mix of education and real life experience and you know where your skill level will be when you complete your internship.

While each hospital's nursing internships may be different, this is one of the best ways to apply your classroom knowledge. If an internship does not apply to you consider learning more about nursing residencies or pre-professional nursing programs.
