Ms. Carolyn White C hanges in the health care system of the United States, higher costs, and the aging population have increased the demand for community-based care.
Nursing is the largest professional sector in the health care system.
More students must be taught in community-based settings that emphasize prevention and basic health care. The goal of the project is to prepare professional nurses to work as effectively and efficiently as possible to control costs and provide quality care. This project will be a national model for providing hands-on instruction to nursing students in the community. The USA nurses will learn by providing care to home-bound persons, foster children, and migrant farm workers. This page will share information about the project and will share curricular materials with nursing faculty members throughout the nation.
