In January 1995, the nursing program at St. Petersburg Junior College (SPJC), in Florida, undertook a project to enable nursing students to move from hospital- to community-based practice. Specifically, the project sought to establish partnerships with the health care agencies and facilities in the community, develop a community-based health care curriculum, develop a replicable model for community out placements, identify qualified area nurses to supervise and evaluate students in their out placement experiences, and provide inservice training to SPJC faulty. An Advisory Committee was formed and 33 SPJC nursing faculty were consulted throughout the project regarding curriculum development and out placement site assessments. As a result of the project, 11 new contracts were completed for out placement learning sites. In addition, the nursing curriculum was updated through the development of modules focusing on unique settings, such as home health and hospice care, and including theory and objectives of clinical learning and worksheets and evaluation forms for students' clinical experiences. The bulk of this report provides the updated curriculum for the hospice, home health care, and middle aged & older adults modules, including course outlines and materials used in instruction. The evaluation forms for student out placement are included. (TGI)
