Nursing Camp
Nursing Camp is designed to be interactive and hands-on, giving you an opportunity to gain wide exposure to the field of nursing in just a few days.
The cost for field trip transportation and admission is included in the registration fee.
Camp activities may include:
- A sensory deprivation lab, "room of horrors", and learning basic lab skills (with Vital SIM mannequin)
- EMS simulation-- collaboration with Stark State College
- A visit from trained therapy dogs
- Field trip to Shamp Bionics
- Earn CPR certification
- Field trip to the Hartville Migrant Center
This supply list is designed to help you prepare for Nursing Camp. Modest summer attire including jeans, shorts, and t-shirts are acceptable for camp activities. Shorts should be no shorter than halfway between the top of the knee and the top of the thigh. Midriff style and sleeveless shirts are not allowed. The academic buildings utilized during the day are air-conditioned and can be chilly. Please plan accordingly.
For the hospital field trip, business casual attire is required. We recommend young men bring dress shoes, casual dress pants, and a casual dress shirt. We recommend young women bring close-toed shoes, casual dress pants, or dress shirt with sleeves. OSHA requirements are that all hospital guests must wear closed toe shoes for a tour.
For the EMS activity, since you will be climbing in and out of an ambulance, please plan to wear jeans and sneakers on that day.
Other items you may need:
- Water bottle
- Notebook with pen
