Growing The Flowers: Preparing Undergraduate Nursing Students For A Community Healthcare Placement In A Neoliberal Economy, Eleanor S. Horton

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Session presented on Friday, July 25, 2014:

Purpose: Our objective was to engage and develop initiatives with our community partners to better prepare our nursing students for a community clinical placement in their Undergraduate Nursing Degree program thus increasing our clinical placements and stimulating students to consider community nursing as a viable career option.

Oral Health Practice Faculty Publications

One of the ways dental education is changing the way it is preparing the next generation of learners is through efficient utilization of interactive social media. Social media, which facilitates interaction and sharing of new ideas, is being utilized to educate students, residents, and faculty. Unfortunately, as with most improvements in technology, there are growing pains. Faculty, student, and patient interaction on social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, can lead to inappropriate or embarrassing situations. Striking the appropriate balance between free speech rights of students and faculty and the need for colleges and universities to have efficient operations …

Determining The Feasibility Of Milk Vending Machines To Improve Calcium Intake Among College Students, Laura E. Monnat, Angela M. Rose, Julie A. Kennel, Christopher H. Holloman, Gail L. Kaye, Carolyn W. Gunther

Journal of Human Sciences and Extension

Calcium intake declines from late adolescence to young adulthood, in part, due to decreases in accessibility to milk and dairy products. While milk vending has shown demonstrated success in secondary schools, no studies have examined whether milk vending improves calcium intake among college students. We hypothesized that milk and calcium intake would be higher among college students given access to milk vending in their dormitory (milk vending consumers) compared to those lacking access in their dormitory (non-milk vending consumers). Milk vending machines were installed in two dormitories, and two dormitories having non-milk beverage vending served as comparison sites. Students completed …
