The Coalition for Nursing Careers in California (CNCC) RN
Ambassador Program encourages nurses to seek opportunities
in the community to speak positively about their real experiences
as nurses and why they chose nursing as a career. The program
provides age-specific, easy to download presentation tools
and posters.
What do I need to do?
Look for an opportunity in your community. Speak at schools,
churches, career fairs, scouting meetings, etc.
PowerPoint presentations and key messages have been developed
for three different age groups: elementary, middle school
and high school/young adult.
Make your presentation fun and
interactive
Young people love hands-on activities like taking a pulse,
temperature, or blood pressure reading. Ask your health care
organization to contribute supplies.
Take a friend along to help
If you are working with a group of 6 or more young people,
take a friend or two to help with the "hands-on"
activities. The more nurses the better.
