 Now in its 13th year, Memorial's Teens Experiencing Nursing (TEN)
camp will be held July 14-17 at Memorial Medical Center.
The 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 throughout 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 Elle Gronewold,
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.
