title: A service learning research methods course.
abstract: Incorporation of service learning into an undergraduate nursing research course has the potential to invigorate baccalaureate nursing students' interest in research through real-world connections. In this article, I describe the development and implementation of an undergraduate nursing research course that incorporated service learning. The course experience proved to be enlightening for both the students and instructor, and propelled students to continue their research beyond the course requirements.
