Mennonite College of Nursing’s (MCN) PROUD Team will be hosting its third annual Summer Nurse Camp June 15–17 at Illinois State University. This year the team is gearing up for 24 high school students interested in learning more about careers in nursing and so much more.
Plans are underway for job shadowing experiences at area hospitals, CPR training, learning and practicing basic nursing skills, and finding out what it takes to attend nursing school all while living in the campus residence halls. The students will also tour and experience MCN’s state-of-the art Nursing Simulation Lab.
Olanna Pullen ’97, M.S. ‘07, outreach coordinator for the PROUD Team, is leading this year’s camp. Applications for the camp are due by May 1. Partial scholarships are available.
If you have questions about Summer Nurse Camp or the PROUD program, contact the PROUD office.
This summer camp is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to provide nursing education opportunities for individuals who are from educationally or economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
