Career Exploration

Nursing Department Shadowing

As part of our mission, vision, and STAR-IQ (service to others, teamwork, accountability, respect, inclusion and diversity, and quest for excellence) values we would like to help cultivate the impressionable minds of our community’s youth by increasing their exposure to the nursing profession.

College Shadowing

Are you currently enrolled in a college program pursuing a degree and considering nursing? We welcome you to come shadow at our Main Campus for a four-hour experience in a department of your interest.

“This was an amazing experience! I have always had a special place in my heart for Metro and was leaning towards employing here as a nurse after I graduate. I have had opportunities elsewhere and been doing a lot of thinking but this experience and the interaction I have had with every staff member along the way has really sealed the deal. I have my sights set firmly on employment here in the near future.”

Nursing Career Exploration Program (NCEP)

This is a unique opportunity for high school students who exhibit an interest in the nursing field. We welcome you to a day of shadowing during which each student will have the chance to shadow two different units. See the dates for 2025 below.

“I had an absolute blast. This was one of my favorite experiences and I’m so in love with the hospital and structure.”

“I loved all of the staff, and this experience really increased my interest in nursing. I am grateful to have had this opportunity.”
