Abstract

Some nursing students (learners) view practicum experiences in community health as something to experience in the process of becoming a "real nurse." Nursing programs access schools for community practicums even though the full-time role of school nurse no longer exists in most school settings in Canada, a casualty of the general eroding of public health systems and services. The devaluing of public health and lack of public health nursing positions can create challenges when educating new nurses on primary prevention and population health promotion. Here, Mcharo et al share their quality-improvement project with nursing learners in elementary health-promoting schools from a service-learning perspective.
