Abstract

Collaboration between a nurse educator and nurse administrator paired beginning baccalaureate nursing students and the university health center's self-care cold clinic to benefit all involved in the project. Nursing students assisted clients through the cold clinic's five stations, establishing relationships and practicing communication and assessment skills. The health center benefited from exposure to the new techniques brought to the experience by nursing students, clients benefited from having a personal care provider during their cold-clinic experience, and nursing students benefited from being able to practice nursing skills that emphasized critical thinking over high-tech skills as they worked with clients of their own age. In sum, students were educated, wellness was promoted, and self-care behavior was enhanced.
