Abstract

Nursing students were required to complete 120 clinical hours in Wendover over a 4 week period. This required 4 trips to Wendover, UT and 4 overnight accommodations. The students rotated through several clinical sites including Anna Smith Elementary, Wendover High School, Toole Public Health Department and the Wendover Community Health Center. At each clinical site, students were paired with members of the community to facilitate learning. BYU students had daily contact with school nurses, teachers and administrators to assist in understanding their role and completing their assignments. At the elementary school, teachers helped BYU students to prepare and teach developmentally appropriate health classes such as dental hygiene and healthy eating. At the high school, BYU students taught more complex health classes such as health careers and leadership guided by the health teacher and principle.
