Feature Story: Making a difference in North Central Regina

Abstract

Some nursing students recently completed their community service learning at the North Central Family Centre in Regina which provides safety, education resources, and life skills for about 70 school-aged children. The students are in the Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, offered jointly by the University of Regina and Saskatchewan Polytechnic. “Students are challenged to enter a community-based agency, work with staff and clients, and contribute to service delivery. The impact of this collective contribution is significant both in terms of the agencies where students are placed and to their respective clients,” explains the Dean of Nursing at the University of Regina, Dr. david Gregory.
