There is great value in having nursing students engage in public health projects. One such endeavor was a polio immunization campaign in Lebanon. Reports of polio in neighboring Syria necessitated immunization of Lebanese children under the age of five. Junior and senior nursing students who participated learned many valuable lessons.
