Meet Savannah-Grace Jones
Major: Nursing, Pre-Med
Experience: McLeod Health
How did you find out about this experience?
A family friend is the ICU director, so I reached out asking about an internship.
How has your time at Campbell prepared you for this experience?
Campbell nursing professors have given me the tools to be successful in a clinical setting, as I work as nurse intern and medical surgical technician in the ICU.
My professors encourage us to make connections and always step in to help, even as a student.
What did you learn from your internship?
I have applied my clinical skills and knowledge I learned at Campbell into the real world setting of the hospital. I learned what it is really like to be a nurse and how I can grow once I get into the field.
How did you grow during this experience?
I have grown so much in a clinical aspect while working in the intensive care unit. I am excited to use the skills I have learned once I go back to school as a senior nursing student.
If students were to pursue a similar opportunity, what advice would you give them?
I would give other students the advice of reaching out to your connections and making a way for yourself—that’s what I did for my role this summer!
