Abstract:
The purpose of this project was to increase the number of students participating in public health nursing experiences at Vermont Department of Health through creation of a mentoring partnership model. The model targeted preceptor needs, including roles and responsibilities when working with students; educational needs of faculty, particularly related to evolving roles of public health nurses; and creation of additional clinical opportunities for students. Outcomes included improved working relationships among students, faculty, and public health mentors as measured by narrative evaluative comments of project participants; a 150% increase in the number of students participating in public health nursing clinical experiences; expanded involvement of Vermont Department of Health district offices and central office, with the addition of two new clinical sites and increased numbers of students in sites used prior to this project. Guidelines for preceptors working with students were also developed.
