title: Student projects enhance competency in community-based nursing practice.
abstract: Trends in healthcare delivery toward community-based care challenge nurse educators to design nursing curricula and learning experiences that prepare students for practice in community settings. The authors describe how faculty used student projects to enhance community learning experiences. The projects were designed to help students gain skill in the process of program design and evaluation and an appreciation and enthusiasm for community-based nursing practice.
