MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Nursing students at Minnesota State University, Mankato now have the ability to gather hands-on experience through a newly established winter internship at area hospitals.
“It is an opportunity for students to get practice, hands-on, working as a nurse and acting in the capacity of a nurse,” says Tricia Young, Chair of the School of Nursing.
In years past, students in the nursing program enrolled in a summer internship, where they would assist in real-world settings.
