This experience will shed light on the underrated positive effects of traditional medical methods, such as acupuncture and herbal medicine.

• Must be enrolled in a university, have graduated, or have relevant work experience in the field of interest

The 5 months spent in Vietnam was not only enjoyable but also felt enriching. I have become many times more independent than before and thoroughly enjoyed working at Vinmec General International Hospital- A conducive and enjoyable workplace for those interested in a career in Healthcare.
Thanks to SE Vietnam, my nursing internship at the Orthopedic & Rehabilitation Hospital is a treasure experience that I will never forget. I was also able to use my skills as a nurse, from helping nurses with drug rounds, administering medications, injections and intravenous injections infusions, wound care and management of wounds. The techniques used are very similar to clinical skills I was taught in England, but there will always differences when apply what I learned in school to the real world, so I really appreciate this opportunity which really helps me practice and improve my nursing skills.

There are few words that could describe my time here this summer. The time I have spent here has been priceless and life changing, even more than I thought it could be. I learned so much from my nursing internship in Vietnam that will help me very much in my future. However, the life experience I’ve learned, through adapting to another culture, traveling alone to beautiful places and having a sense of home here is something I’ll never forget. The people here have touched my heart, and I’ll have these memories forever.

Everyone from the program coordinator to my local buddy was extremely supportive! The experience would not have been as great as it has been if I was by myself. I felt very satisfied with the service SE Vietnam provided for my Nursing Internship in Vietnam at Ho Chi Minh Hospital of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation. I was clear about the rules and expectations required of me during my placement.

In general, I am satisfied with the internship program provided by SE Vietnam. The internship placement was ideal and my local buddy was great. During the internship, I was working as a surgical intern at a public hospital in Ho Chi Minh City and was clear about the responsibilities & rules that I was expected to accomplish & follow. I had a lot of supervisors who were all very caring. The doctors at the hospital were very gracious and explained a lot of cases to me. All in all I was well equipped to perform the job at my best.
