How can I apply for a practical training in nursing?
We welcome applications from nursing trainees in all programs.
For external trainees seeking a bachelor's degree in nursing, internships can only be offered starting from the fourth semester. This helps guarantee adequate internship placements for nursing assistant professions.
During your internship, we'll provide you with a comprehensive understanding of evidence-based nursing practices. Depending on your interests, you might gain valuable experience in areas like peer tutoring in kinesthetics, nursing counseling, or specialized care in wound and pain management, hygiene and continence, or ostomy care.
We offer personalized, goal-oriented, and reflective practical support.
We expect you to be eager to learn, take personal responsibility and initiative, and enjoy working with people. Additionally, we value your respectful treatment of patients, their families, and all professional groups.
Please use our information sheet for your application. Please send this with all the necessary documents to nursing.internship@akhwien.at.
