Nursing and other health-related professions are among the fastest growing in the country! Together with Mercy Medical Center in Dubuque & NICC Peosta Campus, we would like to invite you to participate in the Nursing Exploring Program!
Exploring is a non-profit which offers career exploration programs to both male & female high school students. The first meeting includes hospital department tours in the Emergency Room, Operating Room, Birth Center, and a presentation on the nursing profession. Mercy then teams up with NICC, Peosta Campus to continue the program. For the next few meetings, students will learn in the NICC skills lab before being placed with a Mercy nurse to shadow. Mercy Hospital normally does not allow any local students to observe or shadow due to HIPPA laws which protect patient privacy & safety, so you do not want to miss out on this opportunity!
The Mercy Medical Center Nursing Exploring post will meet on Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Registration will be from 5:00-5:15 p.m. just inside the hospital’s main front entrance. Signs will be posted to direct you to the meeting room. The full program will follow from 5:15-7:15 p.m. The registration fee for this post is $25.00 for the year. Please RSVP here online or contact the Exploring Office. Then bring the completed registration forms, signed by a parent, along with your program fee to the first meeting. This program will continue to meet once a month until April. A full schedule is attached on the right and will be handed out at our first meeting, but please mark your calendars for the second meeting. It will take place at NICC’s Peosta Campus on October 16th from 4- 6 p.m. We will meet in their Nursing Lab, room 150. Attendance is very important due to the safety regulations and standards that must be taught in order for students to shadow in the spring.
Let us know you are planning to attend. RSVP here online or contact Laura Cornelis with the Exploring Program at 563-556-4343 or email her at laura.cornelis@scouting.org. Please notify us if you plan on bringing a friend as they will also need to pay and register.
