CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — The faculty of nursing at UPEI is partnering with the Salvation Army for a unique learning and service experience at Bedford MacDonald House in Charlottetown.
Students will gain valuable experience providing health care and proactive health education to address basic needs of guests at the men’s shelter.
In the fall semester, two fourth-year nursing students in the nursing and population health course will complete their clinical placements at the shelter three days a week. This course provides theoretical and clinical opportunities to examine and apply concepts and skills related to population health.
During the winter rotation, two third-year nursing students in the developing partnerships with clients in the community course will complete their clinical placements at the shelter twice a week.
This course focuses on promoting and maintaining health and providing support and assistance to individuals, families, and groups in the home and community.
