"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!"
