This project expanded nursing education capacity by 75% using a collaborative partnership. The innovative approach increased the number of registered nurses (RNs) graduating from the accelerated nursing program.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Workforce Development
- Collaborative Practice
Background:
- Addressing nursing faculty shortages and expanding baccalaureate program capacity are critical for healthcare.
- Traditional nursing education models face challenges in meeting increasing demand.
- Innovative partnerships are needed to enhance nursing education and workforce readiness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a unique demonstration project that expanded baccalaureate nursing student education capacity by 75%.
- To detail the implementation of a collaborative practice and education partnership.
- To outline strategies for increasing the pipeline of qualified nursing faculty.
Main Methods:
- Utilized hospital-paid master's clinicians as clinical faculty.
- Implemented online course delivery for non-clinical theory nursing courses.
- Converted master's nurse educator program to online format with a Web instructional designer.
- Renovated space to expand the nursing skills laboratory and purchased simulation equipment.
Main Results:
- Expected to produce 24 additional workforce-ready baccalaureate-prepared Registered Nurses (RNs) in 15 months.
- Demonstrated a 75% expansion in student education capacity.
- Successfully integrated online learning and enhanced simulation facilities.
Conclusions:
- Collaborative practice and education partnerships can effectively expand nursing education capacity.
- Innovative strategies, including online learning and simulation, are vital for nursing workforce development.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
