You can find student nurse internship opportunities at hospitals, private practices, and even overseas. As a student nurse intern, you gain hands-on experience and work under the supervision of registered nurses. Your responsibilities may differ depending on the program, but typically, you complete clinical duties and paperwork and work directly with each patient. Your internship may focus on a specific area, such as pediatrics or mental health. A student nurse internship is also an excellent way to hone your interpersonal communication skills. If the internship goes well, you may be offered a full-time position.
