Description
Service-learning is an integral component of the Child Health Maintenance course at Louisiana Tech University. Nursing students engage the pediatric population in a variety of community settings to improve health through service-learning education. Topics such as prematurity awareness, shaken baby syndrome, hand washing and illness prevention, hygiene issues, nutrition, dental care and adolescent health needs are addressed. The opportunity to connect with children in the community meets the objective of health promotion and illness prevention for the role of the registered nurse and provides an opportunity for students to participate in a rewarding civic engagement project.
