Testimonial
"I chose the BRG nurse internship program because I had been hearing about it since I started working at BRG in 2019 and wanted to experience it for myself. I had been to several hospitals throughout my clinical rotations at school and was familiar with many other charting systems, except for BRGs and felt that the internship would make me more comfortable with the charting system. I enjoyed working closely with one nurse and got a better understanding of how to chart per the unit's policy, how to receive and give report, and how to manage time effectively. These skills, although are taught in school, do not make sense until you see and do them yourself. My time as a nurse intern was rewarding, motivating, and a form of education that cannot be found elsewhere. The skills and knowledge I learned during the internship made me feel more comfortable with charting and communicating and is a great transition role to be a new grad RN!"
