A creative recruitment program. Future nurses' camp.

Attracting high school students into nursing is a concern of staff development educators. "Future Nurses' Camp" was a creative, cost-effective program developed by a hospital education department. A 2-week, fun-filled, informative camp that included the use of high-tech equipment and patient-care decision games promoted a positive image of nursing. Experiencing nurses' roles reinforced the students' desire to enter nursing.
