Teaching Nursing in the Neighborhoods


Book Description

This book describes a model of clinical education in which nursing students receive 50% of their clinical experiences in the community--often in settings where no other kinds of health care services are available.

The book describes the issues challenging nurse educators in the face of a changing health care system and provides practical information on implementing community-based clinical experiences.

Nurse educators will find ample information for adapting this program in their own schools."
