Middle school students get early hands-on experience in nursing summer camp

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.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
