Nursing Students (ORU): Learning
and Serving
University (ORU) nursing students traveled weekly
to Pawhuska and
Wynona, Oklahoma as a part of
their fall semester clinical rotation
under the
supervision of Audrey Thompson, ORU Nursing
Faculty member.
The students worked in the Wynona Public
Schools helping to implement
the Community
Learning Center Grant that was written by ORU
nursing
student who had served in Pawhuska
during the previous rotation.
A needs
assessment
was conducted and the evaluation
tools were
developed
in the following areas:
literacy,
cultural awareness, recreational
programs, and
the Homework Club.
Additionally, the students created and provided staff development
programming on developmental delays. Resource manuals were compiled
and provided as a reference source for the school staff. Other students focused on developing a grant that would fund diabetic
education for youth as well as adults including components on nutrition,
exercise, blood sugar content, and health snacks. In addition to
a letter of intent regarding the proposal, the students developed
curriculum for youth and adults, which was subsequently tested for
feasibility within the community.
