NURS260 Professional Foundations I

Collaboration This semester brought new opportunities to learn about community health care and how to incorporate collaboration and teamwork to ensure the best patient care.  Our class was broken into groups and instructed to work together to devise a paper focusing on a specific health issue and to present it.  Our group chose sex education within public schools and decided to split the topic into pro and con sections focusing on areas we thought were relevant to health promotion.  We were able to provide a well thought out, fluid paper (a copy is available here), showcasing the importance of the topic and the value of team collaboration and participation.

My senior year will allow for an additional opportunity that I'm looking forward to participating in.  My class will devise a community outreach plan to promote the health needs of a community and how nurses can advocate for their implementation.

~Florence Nightingale, 1852
