Breaking Down Barriers to Nursing Careers.

CompassRN’s summer nurse camps are designed to empower underserved and underrepresented high school students who dream of becoming nurses. Recognizing the challenges these students might face on their educational journey, CompassRN breaks down barriers by offering these life-changing experiences at zero cost to students.

Through a blend of interactive workshops, simulations, and activities, students gain hands-on learning that goes beyond textbooks. We also connect them with local colleges of nursing and healthcare systems. These interactions provide firsthand insights from professionals and showcase the diverse career paths in nursing.

Our camps aim to ignite a passion for healthcare, build confidence for competitive programs, and cultivate a future generation of nurses that reflects the vibrant communities we serve.
