Learners complete two internships comprised of 50 practicum hours each, normally under the guidance of Master's or Doctorally prepared nurse mentors working in a health systems leadership or educational leadership role in a health care or higher education setting. Internship activities might focus on aspects of health system leadership or educational leadership that the learner wishes to further develop or may be more focused on experiences key to development of the learner's thesis project (e.g., engaging with relevant stakeholders; working with a mentor to develop skills essential to conduct of the thesis project). Supervisor and learner should work together to determine appropriate placements. Successful completion of the internships and their evaluative components should be overseen by the supervisor. Additional details are provided on the DN Internship Guidelines.
