Students reported that three major challenges confronted them as they transitioned from high school to college. These challenges were to \"make the space on campus my own,\" \"get used to the way things are done in college,\" and \"get a sense of who I really am.\" The Freshman seminar helped pre-nursing students settle into a new environment and better prepare themselves for nursing school.

An expanding literature base promotes service learning in nursing education. Comparison of service-learning and community-based nursing education led the partners to view community-based nursing education experience as practice, and, as such, an emerging model that transcends service learning. Community-based student nursing experiences that meet student, program, and community outcomes are planned and implemented in collaboration with community partners.
