Abstract:
A subset of undergraduate nursing students completed their Population Health clinical experience at a primary care center for refugee and immigrant health. The student clinical experience was evaluated using pre- and post-surveys and group interviews. Students represented diverse sociocultural backgrounds and varied in baseline exposure to immigrants and refugees (newcomers). Themes of compassion and holistic care, unique resources for care management, and interdisciplinary collaboration emerged from the student experience. Interaction with newcomers in the clinical environment exposes students to the health needs of a unique population subset. Innovative approaches are needed to prepare nurses to care for diverse populations.
