For my Senior Capstone, I designed and hosted a Nursing Exploration Event that introduced students to real nursing skills through five interactive stations. My goal was to create a hands‑on learning experience that helped students better understand what nurses do and explore possible healthcare careers. Throughout the process, I researched nursing skills, planned the event structure, created educational materials, gathered supplies, and coordinated with my mentor to make sure the event was safe, realistic, and meaningful. The final product included stations on PPE, vital signs, triage, nursing specialties, and communication, along with worksheets, scenario cards, and a student passport activity. Hosting the event allowed me to apply the SLA core values by using inquiry to shape my guiding question, research to design each station, collaboration to work with my mentor and volunteers, presentation to communicate information clearly, and reflection to adjust my plans when challenges came up. Through this project, I learned how to lead an event from start to finish, how to teach others, and how to adapt when things don’t go as expected. My Capstone not only strengthened my interest in nursing but also created a valuable learning opportunity for other students in my school community.
