The College of New Jersey Department of Nursing, Health and Exercise Science has joined the Women's Heart Foundation as a new stakeholder to its Teen Esteem Health and Fitness program - a healthy lifestyles intervention at Trenton Central High School. The nursing students will be assisting the WHF in data collection with physical measurements. They will also be involved in a pilot to test their motivational interviewing skills- a method of interviewing that encourages healthful changes but with goals set forth by the individual rather than by the practitioner. "We are so pleased to be involved with this great program", says Kathleen Philbin, RN, PhD, Associate Professor of Nursing at the College. "There is often little opportunity for our college students to gain real-life clinical experiences and this program lends itself perfectly to internships" she said.
