 Now in its 12th year, Memorial's Teens Experiencing Nursing camp
will be July 15-18 at Memorial Medical Center.
The TEN program begins with an orientation and an overview of the
nursing profession. Participants will visit the hospital's Clinical
Simulation Center and Surgical Skills Lab, where students will learn
and practice basic nursing skills.
Students will also have the opportunity to job shadow and
interact with nursing staff on several nursing units at Memorial,
including maternity, dialysis, emergency, intensive care and the
Regional Burn Center.
"We're looking for qualified and motivated high school students
with a strong interest in pursuing a nursing career," said Kristin
Blake, Memorial Health System's coordinator for career planning.
"TEN camp gives students the opportunity to personally experience
nursing education and nursing practice."
TEN camp is limited to 30 students. Campers are expected to
attend all four days of the camp and may not leave the camp for any
reason other than a family emergency.
