Health across the life span: raising nursing student awareness in Australia.
Quality nursing practice depends on knowledgeable and sensitive professional nurses. Nursing students, and ultimately the public they serve, benefit from learning experiences that enhance understanding of the physical and psychoemotional effects of aging and health dysfunctions across the life span. The Friends of the School of Nursing Program at The University of South Australia, City Campus, is a coalition between students and volunteers that provides students with the opportunity to participate in a variety of learning situations involving people of all ages and representing different health, social, and cultural backgrounds.
