Innovations in Student Nurse Clinical Education Partnerships

This event features new and innovative ways in which hospitals and schools of nursing are making it easier for nursing students to learn and quickly acclimate to the health care environment — all while earning a salary.

Learn how Freeman Health System collaborated with Crowder Community College, and Missouri Baptist Sullivan Hospital collaborated with East Central College to introduce a new model of nursing education. By transforming the clinical learning experience into an apprenticeship model, students pursuing an associate degree in nursing gain real-world clinical practice as they become acclimated to the health care culture. This model increases student confidence, and it is an avenue to combat the nursing shortage and reduce new nurse turnover rates.
