Abstract:
Nursing students are not afforded the opportunity to take a full patient assignment before transitioning into practice. It then often takes students months to feel comfortable caring for more than 2 patients once in practice. To assist students with transition-into-practice issues, the authors discuss a senior internship where students work one-to-one with an expert nurse, becoming acclimated to taking a full patient assignment.
