This study was completed with the students who accepted the research before the selection of the sample and completed the first and last day questionnaires of the clinical practice. Results: As a result of the study, the total scores of self-confidence total and subscale average scores of the students that took education of the internship program were found statistically to be higher than the total scores of the students who did not took education of the internship program (p<0.05). It was determined that anxiety total and subscale total scores of the students who received the internship program were lower than the total scores of the students who did not, but the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusions: In the study, the conclusion was that the internship program was effective in raising the level of self-confidence in clinical decision-making and lowering the anxiety levels of nursing students.
