I spent more than 20 years assigning and supervising Nurse Interns. I find the program is win-win for student, precptor, and organization. The student learns the accountability required to be a professional, Learns first hand the imporatnace of integrating knowledge, skills, and values in the clinical setting. The preceptor enjoys "showing off" their knowledge, value of team work, and appreciation of belonging to an organization The Internship programs can also be an opportunity for management to train and evaluate prospects for permanent employment.
