The Midlands of South Carolina Black Nurses Association, Inc, in partnership with Bradley Elementary School, implemented a pilot Mini Nurse Academy (MNA) for students in grades 3-5. The Academy is one of 12 in the country being piloted by the National Black Nurses Association (NBNA) with a funded grant from Direct Relief.
The purpose of the program is to introduce students in grades 3 through 6 to the nursing profession. Student participation will increase awareness of nursing as a career option and provide knowledge and skills related to professional nursing practice. Professional nurses affiliated with NBNA, such as the Midlands Chapter, who share the students’ backgrounds and lived experiences serve as organizers and facilitators. “It is important for children to see professional nurses that look like them and serve as role models, during their elementary years,” states Lisa Davis, MBA, MPH, BS, RN founding and current President of the Midlands of South Carolina Chapter of the National Black Nurses Association |
