A university-wide health fair: a health promotion clinical practicum.

Full Abstract

Can sophomore baccalaureate students in their first clinical experience develop a health promotion activity to meet the needs of a university community? The authors describe how students, focusing on wellness and the nursing process, developed a university-wide health fair; the learning experiences, both planned and serendipitous; the importance of collaboration in health promotion and disease prevention activities; and the promotion of nursing's presence on a university campus.
