Mustafa’s Answer
In fields like nursing, which involve direct patient care, hands-on experience is as crucial as theoretical knowledge. Understanding how to apply this knowledge safely and effectively is vital, as mistakes can have serious repercussions, not only for the patient but also for their family, the healthcare facility, and your self-confidence.
The optimal way to master this skill of transforming knowledge into practice is by learning from someone experienced and knowledgeable in patient care. Therefore, internships can be incredibly beneficial for students. They help transform textbook information into practical knowledge with real-world implications.
Furthermore, internships make the subjects more engaging, which can gradually alter your perspective on medical information. Most importantly, the ability to apply textbook knowledge in real-life scenarios can give you a competitive edge when applying for jobs.

I don't think internships are necessary to get a job, but I do think they can help prepare you or give you additional understanding of a job's roles & responsibilities before fully committing to that career path. If you have the time, I would recommend participating in an internship! I participated in 3 internship programs and believe they helped me figure out what I wanted to do after college!

Internships are definitely not required to land a job in your field of choice, but should you choose to do one, having it on your resume along with the actual knowledge and experience will put you ahead of Peers who have not.
