Abstract

Novel educational initiatives are needed to build a robust and diverse nursing workforce. This qualitative, exploratory study based on semi-structured interviews with undergraduate nursing students will attempt to determine whether community-engagement experiences affect learning related to social determinants of health, increase cultural sensitivity, and encourage pursuit of nursing graduate degrees.
