A community health service-learning roundtable: nursing education partnership for community health improvement.
This article describes the formation of a campus-community partnership that focused its efforts on a single vulnerable community within an urban setting. Challenges that were faced and how those challenges were engaged to maintain a viable serving and learning presence within the community are discussed. Previous insights from similar articles are reinforced, and new insights for future work are highlighted. This article and similar articles are creating a body of knowledge about the practical aspects of creating and maintaining partnerships, which can provide guidance for those who wish to duplicate partnerships in other situations and also contribute to data sets of experiences from which theories on this kind of human relating can be formed, challenged, or validated.
