Session 2
Explore the world of nursing and what it takes to become a nurse. Experience the clinical training labs in our state-of-the-art simulation centers and learn about the life of a nurse from local nurses, faculty and our graduate students.
Students gain hands-on experiences in this program, to help them decide whether becoming a registered nurse is for them. They learn from nurses, nurse-faculty and nursing graduate students what the career is like and how to prepare an application to a nursing program. Students explore different kinds of nursing specialties such as maternity, pediatrics, medical-surgical, community health, mental health and emergency nursing and have opportunities to interact with nurses working in those areas. Using state-of-the-art clinical simulations labs, they learn and practice nursing skills. Visits to a local hospital provides them with the opportunity to see what nurses actually do in the real world and hear about the importance of caring and compassion in the profession of nursing.
