Popis: This article examines the concept of service-learning (SL) in nursing practice and education as an opportunity to promote service, not only to individuals but also to the community. Nursing students conducted a SL nutrition education project at an elementary school in Alabama, a state in which the frequency of obesity is among the highest in the nation. Results suggest that SL enhances the critical thinking and cultural sensitivity of nursing students while helping to solidify nursing skills and values.
