Objective: This study aims to determine the internship-related opinions of senior students enrolled in the internship program,
which has been added to the nursing program of the Atatürk University Faculty of Health Sciences recently, as well as
determining the opinions of the nurses working in the clinics of the studied hospital.
Method: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 120 volunteer senior students who were enrolled in internship
program at Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ataturk University in the spring semester of 2015-2016
academic year as well as 206 nurses, who were working in the Yakutiye Research Hospital and agreed to participate in the
