[An internship in the quality and risk management department: An added value in initial nursing training?].

As part of an innovative project initiated by the Quality and Risk Management Department and the Institut de Formation en Soins Infirmiers (Ifsi) at the Laon hospital in the Aisne region of France, a semester 5 nursing student was given the opportunity to put her initial training in quality, risk management and assessment of professional practices to good use during a five-week work placement. Her feedback, like that of the quality department and Ifsi, was positive.
