My internship experience provided a hands-on one-on-one learning experience I would not have gotten in any other setting. My preceptor made sure I was present to perform tasks that would be in my scope of practice. It gave me an extra boost of confidence and helped me feel ready to step into nursing. I am truly grateful for the experience.
