“I have learned so much as an intern! As an intern you are assigned a nurse and will basically do all the patient care, documentation, and assist with med pass just like you would in a clinical preceptorship (however you get paid as an intern:). Being with a nurse throughout the shift allows you to ask any questions, gain confidence in your nursing skills, and develop prioritization and time management skills. Some skills I have been able to perform under a nurse's supervision and guidance are: IV starts, dressing changes, assessment, documentation, med pass, admissions, discharges, straight catheter insertion, foley catheter insertion, bladder irrigation, and assisting with PICC line dressing changes. I have learned SO MUCH during my time as an intern and would highly recommend this job to anyone in nursing. Management is extremely accommodating with your school schedule and the nurses are so appreciative of the extra help. This is literally a perfect job for nursing students.”
