"I chose to apply for the BRG Nurse Internship because of the uniqueness
of the program. I had been a Nurse Tech and gained experience in other
facilities, but I really loved that BRG offered something different, with
tech duties and skills plus the guidance of a preceptor. I have loved
having a preceptor! It was an adjustment to work the same schedule as
my preceptor during the summer, but overall, it made me feel more prepared
for my last semester of nursing school and my first RN job. I was so lucky
to be assigned an amazing preceptor who set a strong example of how to
become a great nurse while also teaching me new skills. I would describe
my time as a BRG nurse intern as fulfilling. I have met and worked alongside
the best people and team and have grown in my skills and confidence. This
internship has been such a valuable experience and I’m so thankful
to have had the opportunity to be a part of it!"
