The Able Trust's High School partnered with USF Health College of Nursing to offer a program for high school students with disabilities interested in the nursing profession

 

Students from The Able Trust’s High School High Tech (HSHT) program participated in a first-of-its-kind Nursing Summer Scholarship program at the University of South Florida Health College of Nursing.

During this two-day immersive experience, students took part in a wide range of activities including interactive workshops, simulations, lectures, and other hands-on experiences. Students explored key aspects of nursing practice including patient care, critical thinking, evidence-based practice, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

HSHT provides high school students with disabilities the opportunity to explore jobs or postsecondary education leading to in-demand careers. This partnership with the USF Health College of Nursing gave HSHT students a unique opportunity to learn about both the education needs and career path options available to students interested in the nursing profession.

“It was a great experience,” shared student Aubrey Wernet. “I loved the hands-on activities and learned so much. I would highly recommend this program to students who want to investigate the medical field.”

In addition to providing hands-on experiences, the Nursing Summer Scholars program gives students an opportunity to form connections with peers who have similar career and educational goals.
