Shadow Program North

A Day in the Life of a Nurse

Are you a high school junior or senior interested in studying nursing in college?  Are you curious about what registered nurses do?  This one-day shadow program pairs high school students with registered nurses in area hospitals.  Students spend valuable time in the hospital environment observing professional nurses at work, gaining insight into the responsibilities and expectations of the registered nurse.  Past participants have stated, "Today was a great learning experience, and I learned a lot by following my RN.  Now I’m more excited to go to college and major in nursing!"  Interested juniors and seniors must be enrolled in a high school (or home-schooled) in one of these central Indiana counties:

Elkart, Lake, LaPorte, Marshall, Porter, St.Joseph 

For the upcoming academic year, A Day in the Life of a Nurse is scheduled:

Tuesday, November 2, 2010
                       or
Thursday, March 3, 2011

7:30am--3:00pm

 

For questions or applications for home-schooled students, contact Nursing 2000 at 219-326-2344 or Nursing2000@gmail.com

 

In a recent survey of former Day in the Life participants, 96% stated the shadow experience was helpful in making a career decision.
