Do You Want to Be a Nurse?

  • Run by Mr. Henry (based in the Clinic for Success) The MSU Future Nurse Club is a group of students of all grades that share an interest in a career in nursing or, at the very least, want to learn what it would mean to become a nurse after graduating from Ben Carson High School. Approximately every other Tuesday from 3:15-4:15 after school in the Clinic for Success, each meeting is facilitated by both a nursing professor and a current nurse from the Detroit Medical Center and focuses on a different theme according to a yearlong calendar including topics like "Image of Nursing Then and Now," "Medical Terminology," and "Code Blue." Members of the Future Nurse Club also receive preferential status on nursing applications to Michigan State University's College of Nursing upon graduation, as well as regular advice on applying to nursing programs at other colleges, access to exclusive summer nursing camps at Michigan State University, and field trip opportunities.
