You already know you are interested in nursing.
Now it's time to find out what that really means.
So You Want to Be a Nurse? is a one-day, hands-on experience designed specifically for high school students who have a distinct focus on nursing as a possible career.
This isn't a general introduction to health care. It isn't a career fair. And it isn't simply a tour of a nursing school.
It is an opportunity to spend a day immersed in the world of nursing.
What will the day look like?
From the moment you arrive, you will begin exploring what it means to think, communicate and work like a nurse.
You will take part in hands-on nursing activities and realistic patient-care scenarios. You'll learn how nurses assess patients, recognize changes in their condition, prioritize care and work with other members of the health-care team.
It is more than learning skills
Nursing isn't just about knowing what to do.
It's about people.
During the day, you'll explore the human side of nursing — communicating with patients and families, dealing with difficult situations, making decisions and understanding the responsibility that comes with caring for someone when they are at their most vulnerable.
