The objective of the research is to know how nursing students fulfill the rotating internship service, knowing that this is a mandatory program in medicine, nursing, obstetrics, and nutrition careers in higher education institutions in Ecuador. To complete this program, students apply and deepen the knowledge acquired in their previous levels of training. An analysis of the situation of intern nursing students during the pandemic caused by SARs CoV2 is presented. The regulations for the development of the internship were analyzed, evidencing educational gaps in biosafety matters and it became necessary to reorient the current regulations for the realization of the rotating internship and other clinical practices in terms of the functions of the interns and the obligations of the establishments of Health. It is concluded that the rotating nursing internship program must be reviewed and analyzed to prevent students from risking their physical and mental health in practice, for this, the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador and the universities must reorient inter-institutional agreements towards the health care and optimal training of future professionals.
