UTHealth Cizik School of Nursing is excited to offer the IGNITE Nursing Summer Camps this year. Inspiring Nursing Interests Through Exploration is an immersive pre-nursing engagement experience offered to all rising high school freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. During this dynamic one-week camp, students will obtain five industry-related certifications, receive an individualized action plan and career map, and complete rigorous skills and simulation labs in our state-of-the-art Simulation and Clinical Performance Lab. We have had an overwhelming response from students interested in learning more about professional nursing. We are seeking volunteers who are passionate about inspiring the next generation of nurses and willing to serve as facilitators for the camp.
Below are the links for the SignUp Genius that outline the facilitator's needs for each camp day.
Camp 1: June 9- 13th https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D45AAA62EA5FDC07-56482074-ignite
Camp 2: July 7- 11th https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D45AAA62EA5FDC07-56484282-ignite
This year, we offer professional development, resume building, and career mapping. Our school nursing student recruiter, Joseph Corona, will complete the Career Mapping, which involves reviewing the student's transcripts and developing a plan for entry into our Pre-Nursing program. We need facilitators who could provide resume-building and interviewing tips and insight regarding soft skills and employment characteristics that employers are looking for when hiring. We have also incorporated a mock job interview into the schedule.
All facilitators will receive instructional materials to review content and responsibilities during the first week of June for Camp 1 and June 30 – July 3 for Camp II.
