An evalutive study of a nursing center for community health nursing student experiences.
The findings from the evaluation study indicated that nursing students were able to accomplish the community health nursing course objectives through a non-traditional entry point. The study also demonstrated that a School of Nursing can successfully initiate and carry out health care (the service program was also evaluated) and that students, challenged and integrated into such efforts can become extremely useful as a resource to the community while simultaneously contributing to their own learning and professional development. The Nursing Services Center approach (nursing clinic that also offers home care) has been able to serve some of the preventive health needs of a population while at the same time providing students with educational experience in the field.
