dc.description.abstractUndergraduate nursing programs are increasingly using non-traditional community health placements within their curricula, though their impact on the organizations and clients they serve has not been widely explored. Therefore, this article aims to examine the use of non-traditional community health placements in undergraduate nursing programs using the political economy of health inequities as an analytical framework. We discuss the limits of non-traditional placements in addressing health inequities, suggesting our work contributes to the perception that something is being done to address the dual unregulated drug poisoning and housing crises while failing to tackle their root causes. We theorize that non-traditional health placements allow nursing programs to continue to graduate enough nurses to meet increasing workforce demands under prolonged austerity measures that have reduced funding to both post-secondary institutions and public health. Finally, we discuss strategies to mitigate harm and commit to more equitable partnerships.
