That’s the whole reason I became a nurse

I’m excited to be at the BCCAN career fair. I didn’t expect this at all. Growing up in Battle Creek, I had never seen or experienced anything like this. I would literally watch TV and see surgeries and thought I wanted something to do with that. That’s the whole reason I became a nurse.

It’s nice for the kids, so they can have an eye opener of what’s out there. The fact that they get to explore some of the different areas of a hospital is amazing.

The program partners several employers in the community to host more than 700 students at this one-day, hands-on, career exploration experience in a field of their interest. In 2019, Bronson welcomed 11 students and hosted career stations.
