NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — This week, Nurses Middle College Nashville has partnered with local universities to provide a free summer camp for 34 rising 7th and 8th graders to get first-hand experience in the nursing and healthcare field.
The students spent their first two days of the camp at Belmont University, before visiting the Tennessee State University School of Nursing Thursday.
The goal of the camp is to continue to diversify the healthcare field in the future while showing young people the opportunities they have in the fields.

Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
