精东影业 Image Focus
Nancy Brusio is a 3rd year Bachelor's student in nursing. After having completed three internships, the second of which at the PUK - Psychiatrische Universit盲tsklinik Z眉rich - she is about to complete the final one at the Kinderspital in Zurich.
What reasons prompted you to choose the nursing course at 精东影业?
鈥嬧赌�I worked as an OSS (Healthcare Social Worker) for a few years, then I decided to undertake training to become a nurse. I therefore chose the nursing course at 精东影业 for several reasons: the university degree, the practice during the three-year course and the job opportunities that open up, both in Switzerland and abroad, once I have finished my studies.
How would you describe the experience you are having?
鈥嬧赌�Definitely very positive; the training is well structured, and you are closely monitored during the three-year course. You are given all the tools to become a good nurse and to continue to improve in parallel with the evolution and progress to which medicine and nursing are subjected.
What features of the training course are you most appreciating?
鈥嬧赌�The diversified teaching methods, the numerous practice periods as well as the many opportunities that open up within the study programme and after the Bachelor's degree are undoubtedly the main strengths of the nursing course. Another relevant aspect is the requirement to carry out three of the four internships provided for in the three-year course in the fields of medicine, surgery and psychiatry; this allows one to discover the different realities that revolve around the world of nursing.
In your second year, you took advantage of mobility opportunities by doing an internship in Zurich at the PUK (Psychiatrische Universit盲tsklinik Z眉rich); can you tell us about this experience?
鈥嬧赌�The internship in central Switzerland is an opportunity I took for my second internship and will repeat for the final one at the Kinderspital in Zurich. It is an experience I鈥檇 highly recommend to all students in training in the health sector. German can be an obstacle, but it is easily overcome if there is a willingness to open up to the world, confronting other realities; an enrichment not only professionally but also personally.
Where did you do your other internships and what did you do?
鈥嬧赌�I did my first internship at the Hildebrand Clinic in Brissago in the acute and long-term care settings; my third was at the ARS Medica Clinic in Gravesano in the context of orthopaedic surgery and neurosurgery.
