The concurrent nursing and faculty shortages continue to be critical issues for the nation's health care system. As academic nursing programs struggle with maintaining and increasing enrollment in the midst of a faculty shortage, one solution is to expand the faculty's capacity through innovative academic-service partnerships. Schools and clinical partners identified as having implemented innovative partnerships were invited to participate in this descriptive study. Site visitations to schools in Florida and Texas were conducted to gain in-depth knowledge of the clinical education model, the academic-service partnership, and the strengths and challenges associated with planning, implementing, and sustaining programs. Four underlying features were common across the successful implementation: supportive relationships, goodness of fit, flexibility, and communication. Consideration of the four features will be useful as nursing programs and their clinical partners are developing, implementing, and evaluating new models for increasing educational capacity and lessening the nursing shortage.
护理人员和教师的短缺仍是美国医疗体系的一个重大问题。随着学术护理项目在师资短缺的情况下努力维持和增加招生人数，一个解决方案是通过创新的学术服务伙伴关系来扩大教师的能力。本研究邀请了被确定为实施了创新伙伴关系的学校和临床合作伙伴参与。对佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州的学校进行了实地考察，以深入了解临床教育模式、学术服务伙伴关系，以及与规划、实施和维持项目相关的优势和挑战。成功实施的四个基本特征是：支持性关系、适配性、灵活性和沟通。在护理项目及其临床合作伙伴开发、实施和评估增加教育能力和缓解护理人员短缺的新模式时，考虑这四个特征将是有用的。
