Mathilde – Nursing internship in Cambodia

Mathilde, an IFSI student, went to Cambodia with 2 other student nurses for her internship. Here is her feedback.

Our medical internship in Cambodia was a very enriching experience, both on a human and professional level.

It was an unforgettable and extraordinary experience. We learned a lot.

The internship was a great learning experience for us on a human level, working alongside local people. The Cambodian population has brought us a lot of benevolence, kindness.

Our best memory was a weekend we chose to spend in the Mondolkiri province, discovering elephants and deep Cambodian nature. It was a very moving moment, which will remain engraved in our minds forever.
We had the chance to feed the elephants, bathe with them and watch them evolve - it was a magical moment.

We recommend RealStep, it's an unforgettable experience that teaches you a lot from a professional and, above all, a personal point of view. It's an experience you have to live.

For an internship in Phnom Penh at the national pediatric hospital, we recommend Realstep. It's easy to communicate with your local team, and they're a very good NGO that takes good care of us.
They were very caring, attentive and organized great activities for us. They were adorable and we thank them for their kindness and goodwill towards us.

We'd like to thank the Freepackers team and RealStep for checking in on us during our internship and offering help when we needed it.
