title: Young Nurse Clinician Programs: geriatric, pediatric, and community health.
abstract: In most nursing programs, limited options exist beyond the required nursing curricula for students to continue career growth in a nursing specialty area at the undergraduate level. The authors describe the Young Nurse Clinician Programs, an innovative approach that provides individualized educational opportunities to select nursing students to promote leadership and foster interest in geriatric, pediatric, and community health nursing.
