Students have a detailed template to use for this assignment (located in theassignment on the LMS system, NRSG 4400). As part of the assignment, students perform a communityassessment of a neighborhood while physically riding the bus. Students evaluate the general topography,roadway conditions, noise levels, economic states observed, evidence of ethnic neighborhoods, who ridesthat bus (race, gender, age, etc.), service facilities in the area (food, laundry, banks, gas stations, resale,other shopping services, business and industry, employment [help wanted], schools, libraries, health care[hospitals, dentists, clinics], places of worship, recreational areas/parks, restaurants and bars, housing[single family, apartments, vacancies, condition of housing], safety [police, fire], social services [SocialSecurity office, health department, senior centers, daycares, assistance programs], other transportationoptions, and environmental/safety issues [sidewalks, wheelchair access, lighting, toxic chemicals, airpollution, sanitation, stray animals]. Students also access links available on the completion form todetermine pollution issues in the area and online statistics about income and education levels of the area.Students then interview two key informants using guided questions: an official community leader and acommunity member who is also riding the bus, after which they compare and contrast concerns of theleader and the member. Students then synthesized the assessment and interviews to describe strengths andweaknesses in the community and health implications of the findings. They concluded the clinicalassignment using reflective journaling. The peer evaluators reviewed all student assignments andfeedback from the instructor.
