Service-learning for graduate students.
Although service-learning is gaining momentum in academic settings across the country, it has not been described as a feature of graduate education. This project incorporated a ten-hour service requirement into a unit on theories of nurse caring as part of a course for graduate nursing students, Theories and Concepts of Nursing. The authors describe the service-learning experience, as well as the extensive class reflection process and written synthesis with caring theory and the University mission after completion of the service.
