I loved the ER experience I had in a stroke certified center. It prepared me to respond to emergency situations and I learned so much about emergent resuscitation that I can use in my current job in the ICU
What I wish was different
I wished to meet more alumni in pittsburgh area

Student nurse intern
May - July 2020 • Pittsburgh, PA
What I liked
I loved having a nurse preceptor to collaborate for the summer. I was placed with a SWAT nurse, who travels to different UPMC facilities. It was amazing to see different units and adapt to a variety of settings.
What I wish was different
I wouldn't change anything about this internship.
Advice
I recommend participating in this internship to further your clinical knowledge and receive hands-on experience prior to senior year. It has helped me in my courses and I feel more comfortable in the clinical setting.

Student Nurse Intern
May - August 2019 • Pittsburgh, PA
What I liked
I enjoyed the opportunity to have more autonomy with my preceptor than we do throughout the school year at clinical. I was able to greatly expand my nursing knowledge and gain further insight into potential post-grad careers and Master's/Doctorate degrees to apply for.
What I wish was different
I do not wish anything could be different.
Advice
I would go in with an open mind. I did not get my first choice unit, but it ended up being the best experience and I would not have changed it for anything.
