To describe a project designed to provide prelicensure nursing students with practical experience in quality improvement (QI).
To facilitate student participation in interdisciplinary teams focused on QI in geriatric settings.
To address the gap in educational strategies for teaching QI skills to nursing students.

Main Methods:

Development of a project within a prelicensure diploma RN program.
Integration of senior nursing students into interdisciplinary teams.
Focus on the development, planning, and implementation of QI projects within a geriatric care environment.

Main Results:

Provided senior nursing students with direct experience in QI project lifecycles.
Facilitated interdisciplinary collaboration for QI initiatives in geriatrics.
Offered a practical model for nursing education in QI.

Conclusions:

The project successfully offered a valuable learning opportunity for nursing students to engage in QI.
This model can be adapted by other nursing programs to enhance QI education.
Experiential learning in QI is crucial for preparing future nurses.
