Middle school students get early hands-on experience in nursing summer camp

This week, Nurses Middle College Nashville has partnered with local universities to provide a free summer camp for 34 rising 7th and 8th graders to get first-hand experience in the nursing and healthcare field.

The students spent their first two days of the camp at Belmont University, before visiting the Tennessee State University School of Nursing Thursday.

The goal of the camp is to continue to diversify the healthcare field in the future while showing young people the opportunities they have in the fields.

“Here’s a great story that proves everyone has something to give, regardless of age OR personal challenges. Our Austin Pollack introduces us to Ms Sylvia Mooney. At age 80, she’s not sitting still. Instead, she using her skills to craft compassion for others… one stitch at a time. Her crochet creations go to non-profits to help our homeless neighbors. You’ll be surprised to learn she does it all, while facing a serious health issue. Bravo Sylvia!”
