ABSTRACT
Amidst a critical shortage of registered nurses, nursing schools are aiming to expand enrollment while working with ongoing resource constraints. Service-learning clinical activities can enhance nursing education by improving clinical quality, addressing faculty and clinical site shortages, and meeting increasing enrollment demands. This paper describes a health fair experience that served as a service-learning clinical experience within an undergraduate public health nursing course. The experience bridged theoretical knowledge with real-world application, fostering competency-based learning and addressing community health needs, resulting in a positive impact on students, faculty, and the community.
