Managing and coordinating internships: a headache for students and institutions

For nursing students, internships are often a stressful time, particularly due to organizational difficulties. Schedules can change at the last minute, students don’t always know what to expect when they arrive at a new care unit, and communication channels with supervisors are not always clear.

Institutions, for their part, have to manage dozens or even hundreds of students, while ensuring that each of them has the right information at the right time. Manual management of schedules and coordination of internships quickly become time-consuming and prone to errors.

Frustrations that affect the internship experience

Imagine a student arriving for their internship in a new unit without any prior information. They don’t know the specifics of the unit or the team they will be working with. Worse still, a last-minute schedule change could go unnoticed if they are not notified in time. This kind of situation creates unnecessary stress and directly affects the efficiency of students and healthcare teams.

For IFSI/IFAS coordinators, the repercussions are just as significant. Poor communication or a lack of centralized information can complicate the monitoring of interns and add to an already considerable workload.

Leslie’s testimonial: Interneo at the heart of her internship

To fully understand the impact of Interneo, let’s take the example of Leslie, a nursing student at CPSI-Brussels. During her internship at Saint-Pierre Hospital, she discovered how this platform greatly facilitated her internship experience.

“In three clicks, I can access my schedule directly, and if there is a change, I am notified immediately.”

This quick access and Interneo’s responsiveness help avoid uncertainty in the face of last-minute changes.

Even before starting her internship, Leslie had access to a complete presentation of the care unit. Thanks to this feature, she was able to prepare in advance, learn about the specifics of the team and the tasks ahead, which helped her get off to a smooth start.

Interneo also facilitates communication with internship supervisors. “I always have the contact details of the people in charge of my internship at my fingertips,” says Leslie. This reduces delays and misunderstandings when questions arise, allowing the student to focus fully on her learning.

Finally, Leslie highlighted how easy Interneo is to use. From the moment she logged in for the first time, she was able to access her information immediately and without difficulty. The intuitive interface allowed her to find her way around quickly, without having to spend time on administrative tasks.

Why should healthcare managers and IFSI/IFAS coordinators adopt Interneo?

Schedule changes are automatically communicated to students, avoiding oversights and misunderstandings. Access to care unit information is made easier, ensuring that each intern is well prepared before arriving on site. Student monitoring is also greatly improved, with data accessible in real time, allowing for more effective supervision.

By centralizing all this information, Interneo saves valuable time while improving the quality of the internship experience. This creates a more organized environment where students can focus on their training and healthcare managers can devote themselves fully to their clinical responsibilities.
