Abstract
This study evaluated nursing students' learning at a nurse-led, faculty-organized, drop-in health care center that provided basic care to marginalized communities. Nursing students have engaged in practicum and coursework at this site for more than 30 years; thus, a review of learning outcomes was needed. Using grounded theory as outlined by Strauss and Corbin, data were collected and then analyzed for patterns and themes to inform the research purpose. Four main themes were identified from the data analysis regarding what students learned during their practicum at the community health care center. The themes included: connecting on a human scale, using self-reflection, building relationships with marginalized individuals, and developing skills to make needed changes. The findings supported the continuation of this educational opportunity to provide learning experiences that addressed health inequities and social determinants of health for nursing students.
