The collaborative efforts of faculty in nursing and early childhood education resulted in opportunities for nursing students to enhance their skills in the observation and assessment of preschool-age children, as well as to plan for and interact with young children in the context of health-related learning activities. A community child care center served as the field laboratory for these learning experiences. Through these activities, nursing students were able to gain valuable insights into the development and learning of young children and to clearly relate textbook material to actual child behavior. Opportunities to observe differences within a group of children of similar ages strengthened students' abilities to recognize the nature of individual differences and the implications of various developmental characteristics for nursing practice. Finally, students gained valuable experience using their observations to plan for the children's learning through play and interactions that matched their unique developmental needs.
护理专业教师与幼儿教育专业教师的合作努力为护理专业学生提供了机会，以提高他们观察和评估学龄前儿童的技能，以及在与健康相关的学习活动中为幼儿制定计划并与他们互动。一个社区儿童保育中心充当了这些学习经历的实地实验室。通过这些活动，护理专业学生能够深入了解幼儿的发展和学习情况，并将教科书内容与实际儿童行为清晰地联系起来。观察一组年龄相近儿童之间差异的机会增强了学生识别个体差异本质以及各种发展特征对护理实践影响的能力。最后，学生通过观察来为儿童的学习制定计划，通过符合他们独特发展需求的游戏和互动，获得了宝贵的经验。
