We recommend that children be between 7 and 12 years old. Most sessions are geared toward a younger audience and may not hold the interest of those in junior high or high school.

Yes, however, each child must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Do we need to be Ohio State nursing alum to attend?

The program is open to all Ohio State alumni.

How do we get around to attend the activities and sessions?

All activities/sessions are in Heminger Hall and Newton Hall. We will make every effort to provide mobility accommodation for registrants who provide advanced notice.

Yes. The Buckeye Nursing Discovery Day conduct and safety policies and procedures meet or exceed the Ohio State requirements regarding all programs involving minors. Adult registrants will accompany accompanying minor participants throughout the full day.
