The purpose of this article was to describe a successful academic collaboration of 4 New Jersey state colleges and universities. The aim of the collaborative is to prepare and graduate students in a dual role as advanced clinical/practice nurses and nurse faculty within an innovative master of nursing educational program. This effort was funded by a 4-year grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation NJ Nursing Initiative and the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce. The New Jersey Nursing Education Collaborative (NJNEC) is discussed using E. O'Neil and P. Krauel's (2004) factors for an effective collaborative. The four factors for an effective partnership include a coherent institutional strategy, partners that bring value and assets to the collaborative, mutually beneficial goals, and accountability to each other. The NJNEC is composed of four independent state colleges and universities with separate governing structures and student characteristics. The four schools are located in different geographical locations in the state. Several challenging issues in preparation of faculty and maintaining a collaborative will be presented for future consideration.
本文旨在描述新泽西州四所学院和大学之间成功的学术合作。合作的目的是在一个创新的护理教育硕士课程中培养和毕业兼具高级临床/实践护士和护理教师双重角色的学生。这项工作得到了罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会新泽西州护理倡议和新泽西州商会为期四年的资助。新泽西州护理教育协作组织(NJNEC)是根据 E. O'Neil 和 P. Krauel(2004 年)提出的有效协作的因素进行讨论的。有效合作的四个因素包括连贯的机构战略、为协作带来价值和资产的合作伙伴、互利目标以及相互问责制。NJNEC 由四所独立的州立学院和大学组成,这些学院和大学具有独立的管理结构和学生特点。这四所学校位于该州不同的地理位置。在为教师做准备和维持协作方面,将提出一些具有挑战性的问题供未来考虑。
