Mid-career Opportunity for Nurses: Learning and Growing Through a Health Policy Internship

Nancy L. Falk, BSN, MBA

This article shares the experience and insight gained from a mid-career policy internship offered through the National Academy of Social Insurance. The author is a nursing doctoral student who interned on veterans’ long-term care projects with the Health Care Team at the Government Accountability Office in Washington, D.C. As the average age of nurses continues to rise and society faces nursing shortages, new opportunities and solutions must be considered to keep aging nurses in the workforce. A mid-career internship is a very real option that will benefit health policy organizations, the nursing community, and aging nurses.

Key Words: career planning and development • professional development • personal growth • middle age • internship • political participation
