DSU Nurse Camp set for April 21
by DSU Posted on 3/29/2012
The Department of Nursing at Dickinson State University will host Nurse Camp on Saturday, April 21, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Klinefelter Hall. Check-in is from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Nurse Camp is free and open to all students in the fifth and sixth grades, but pre-registration is required. The camp introduces students to the field of nursing by allowing them to participate in numerous hands-on activities in the areas of geriatrics, obstetrics, medical/surgical, emergency room, intensive care, critical care and operating room nursing as well as nursing education.
Students will work with DSU's human patient simulators and have the opportunity to tour an ambulance. Participants will receive a stethoscope and a Nurse Camp t-shirt.
Nurse Camp is organized by DSU nursing faculty and students and is designed to increase awareness of the knowledge needed to become a nurse in response to the growing international shortage of nurses.
