 The summer camp, called Teens Experiencing Nursing (TEN), will be
held June 27-29 at the nonprofit community hospital.
The program begins with an orientation at the Memorial Center for
Learning and Innovation, 228 W. Miller St., Springfield, where
students will participate in skills training and simulations in the
state-of-the-art learning facility.
They will spend the following two days at Abraham Lincoln Memorial
Hospital, where they will have the opportunity to job shadow and
interact with nursing staff on several nursing units throughout the
hospital.
 “TEN Camp participants receive a hands-on opportunity to experience
nursing education and nursing practice,” said Heather Callahan, a
registered nurse and clinical education coordinator at Abraham
Lincoln Memorial Hospital. “Participation in our TEN Camps is highly
competitive; we’re looking for the best and brightest high school
students interested in pursuing a nursing career.”
TEN Camp will be limited to 10 students. Campers are expected to
attend all three days of the camp and may not leave the camp for any
reason other than a family emergency. |
 Students will need to complete an application, which includes a
school counselor reference, written permission from parents or
guardians and a multiple-essay questionnaire explaining why they
want to become a nurse. Applications are available online at
MemorialCareers.com.
The deadline to apply to all four camps is March 24. For more
