EXCERPT
Nebraska Methodist College (NMC) and Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Omaha, Inc. (CC) formed a faith-based service-learning partnership in 1999. The partnership provides collaborative, community-based education for nursing students enrolled in associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degree programs. Currently in its fourth year, the partnership has focused its attention on social justice and issues identified in Healthy People 2010 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000). The partnership is known as DARING to Reach the Heartland (i.e., diversity, advocacy, respect, innovation, nursing education, growth).
