So valuable. this is very true. As clinical instructor, I do all of these without knowing it.
The internship program must include objectives and goals to be met. supervision and fedback is paramount.
supervision of students, especially nursing students, is important to ensure they are learning to the best of their abilities
There needs to be an open line of communication between the coordinator and site supervisor, in order to provide the intern with the most engaging experience possible. As mentioned, site supervisors need to alert intern coordinators if something is not going well as it needs to be addressed immediately. This is the time in which the intern can make some small mistakes and learn from them, within reason, but it absolutely needs to be addressed. Communication needs to always be modeled.
I had a light-bulb moment while listening to this section. I have mentored and precepted a number of MSN students to the world of academia. The last list of "things a supervisor needs to do" was an inspiration. I did most of them for those students. The only one I didn't do was the "1 hr of personal mentoring/week" however I think our joint tasks and the time I spent explaining them might count! Certainly I was proud that MOST of them were eager to join my university as faculty. And to this day we have a wonderful professional relationship.
3 roles are: The educative role (teaching), The supportive role (examining and managing the effects of training upon the intern), and the managerial role (ensuring that work practices are appropriate and meet standards).
Student supervision is a very important role and must not be taken lightly. Students need supervision from academic and employment perspectives and they are looking for educational opportunities , support for their roles and management of the experience . As Nursing instructors we need to make the connect between the nursing school and the place of work. We need to assess the students skills, introduce the students to the nurses and plan an exp[erience inwhich they can be excited to learn and grow in their new careers.
I have learned that the internship may be complicated by the fact that the intern must be supervised by both the academic organization as well as the organization employing him or her. These two entities must work together to ensure things are going as expected. They must make sure the intern is completing all task as well as objectives. The supervisor will have to play many roles, such as the teacher, support person and the manager as each of these may overlap on any given day. Nevertheless, they are all in the effort of ensuring the intern gets everything they can from the internship. This information will be used to ensure future interns are provided with the tools needed to complete their rotation and complete the internship.
An internship is a system that requires the company supervisor, the internship coordinator, and the student to work together to create the best learning experience for the student. This helps to keep minimize problems and improves the learning of skills and knowledge for the student.
