Service-learning gives nurse educators a simple tool for linking classroom learning to the community. A growing movement among educators nationwide, it combines community volunteer service with a structured learning experience which includes student preparation and reflection. This book is a guide to applying service learning to the nursing curriculum, written by nurse educators who have created and implemented a successful program at the University of Scranton. It includes essays by community agency administrators who have participated in these programs, student feedback, and many case examples.
