Abstract

Undergraduate nursing and construction management students partnered and engaged in service learning (SL) with a local child care center to design a natural playscape. In undergraduate nursing education, combining SL and interprofessional education appears to be a worthwhile method to facilitate learning, enhance learner socialization, and positively impact the community.
