This will be accomplished by using a combination of nurse teaching and learning methods that include hands on skills, immersive virtual reality, mentoring, presentations, and behind the scenes field trips designed to expose students to the wide variety of nursing opportunities. The week will combine learning and social activities designed to foster a sense of community in nursing.
