University/community poster sessions.

Graduate nursing students created posters to illustrate their practicum projects at the end of a field course. Posters were presented at a poster session on a university campus in Philadelphia, open to preceptors, other nurse colleagues, and the university community. Students recognized the advantages of the poster session, including learning how to conduct a professional presentation in public and how to construct an attractive, literature-based poster to hold the attention of colleagues attending the session.
