INTERN ENJOYS WORKING AT A NURSING HOME

This week’s student internship spotlight is Karen Diaz. She currently is interning at Parkway Health Center in Payson. She is interning as a CNA and is looking forward to a great experience at the nursing home. She hopes to learn a lot and also to incorporate it into her future career, which is to become a registered nurse. When asked what she hopes to learn in specific at her internship, she says, “I want to be able to learn from people who have been doing this for a while, so that I will someday be able to teach others what I know as well.” She is excited to be in a professional and enjoyable atmosphere at the nursing home. In regards to the opportunity to intern, she says, “I think it’s a great opportunity for students to be able to work hands-on in internships that they enjoy and that will ultimately help them with their future goals.” She hopes to start her fall semester at UVU to continue her education and to receive her degree in the career she’s chosen.
