 Now in its 14th year, Memorial’s Teens Experiencing Nursing (TEN)
camp will be held July 13-16 at Memorial Medical Center.
The program begins with an orientation and an overview of the
nursing profession. Participants will visit the hospital’s
Simulation Center in the Memorial Center for Learning and
Innovation, 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.
 “TEN Camp participants receive a hands-on opportunity to experience
nursing education and nursing practice,” said Stacey Hull, workforce
development consultant for Memorial Health System. “We’re looking
for the best and brightest high school students interested in
pursuing a nursing career.”
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.
