About our Program

Our camp provides a first-hand look at the nursing profession through the use of on-site demonstrations, hands-on skills labs, interactive presentations, observation of actual patient/nurse interactions, and many other learning activities. Nurses from various hospital and outpatient units collaborate with community groups to provide the "campers" with three days of immersion into the world of nursing.

Nurse Camp provides:

Hands-on experience for students exploring nursing as a career
Access to nursing staff as role models and to ask questions in a non-threatening environment
Exposure for students from health-care studies to the acute care environment of the hospital
