    • Abstract:
      Because of the importance, and difficulty, of providing public health clinical experiences for baccalaureate nursing students, a small midwestern school of nursing offered students a three-year assignment to agencies serving vulnerable populations. The program allowed for long-term placement of students, instilling in them an understanding of community health as a prime aspect of nursing care. Students mentored students, which enhanced continuity in the agencies. More than 2,000 community members have been served, and students' responses have been overwhelmingly positive.
