What changes will you be making in your nursing care as a result of what you have learned at this school?

You will be actively engaged in conducting a community assessment in your local region. The assessment of an at-risk population and specific geographical area will serve as the foundation for a faculty-guided practice experience in population-focused health. Practicum-related experiences will be integrated throughout the course. In this discussion, you will re-visit the service learning project you chose earlier in the program. Reflect back to a time of volunteering with an at-risk population. You will share the information with the class through a discussion. Because valuable learning occurs through engagement with peers and the exchange of ideas, you will review the assessment findings of your peers and provide substantive feedback.
Upon successful completion of these activities, you will be able to:
Share your findings from a Service Learning experience.
Gain insight into other types of experiences that are considered Service Learning.
