title: Enriching clinical learning experiences in community health nursing through the use of discussion boards.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to describe how a constructivist approach to learning, using an internet-based discussion board, can be used to support the reflection and dialogue of registered nurse students in a community health course in an accelerated RN-to-BS program. The constructivist structure of the course is described and insights from students shared, revealing learning in the areas of critical reflection, professional growth, and peer support. Suggestions for implementation of the educational strategy are provided.
