For 10 weeks this summer, La Salle University nursing major, Dang Nguyen, ‘26, had the opportunity to experience public health and primary care nursing at the Stephen Klein Wellness Center (SKWC) as part of an internship sponsored by the Independence Blue Cross Foundation. SKWC, where he interned, is Project HOME’s comprehensive health services location. “This internship gave me a deeper understanding of public health and primary care, and the reality of the nursing role in these areas,” he said. The future nurse was prepared for his time at SKWC thanks to his education at La Salle’s School of Nursing and Health Sciences, he said. I spoke about the importance of establishing therapeutic trust between patients and nurses as a foundation for successful care,” he said.
