Service learning: head start and a baccalaureate nursing curriculum working together
1Ohio State University College of Nursing, Columbus, OH, USA.
Abstract:
Service learning experiences for pediatric nursing students in Head Start programs allow students to achieve the objectives of the pediatric nursing curriculum, model the values of the profession, meet the goals of a community agency, and contribute to the good of society. Students conduct screening tests, present health promotion or safety education projects, develop pediatric-related handouts for the parents and staff, perform assessments of growth and development, identify and research pediatric health issues, and learn the fine art of communicating with preschool children. Head Start schools as clinical sites provide students with ample opportunities to blend nursing theory with application while introducing them to another area of the population. Students, faculty, and Head Start staff agree that this collaboration accomplishes the goals of both organizations.
