MCHP community volunteers for many activities in the community annually. Student nurses are mandated to participate in one community service opportunities: to develop social responsibility and citizenship skills, to build leadership and communication skills, to learn about community healthcare needs and appreciate diversity influenced by socio-political and economic variables, and to apply their knowledge and skills as a student nurse in the “real world.” The nursing academic advisor will schedule students for a community service activity; please see the nursing academic advisor for more information.
