Many nursing schools and public schools are facing various challenges including a lack of resources. Schools of nursing strive to provide meaningful clinical experiences despite the challenge of a limited supply of quality placements. Similarly, public schools are expected to provide more nursing services at a time when many school nurses already are overloaded. For example, new state legislation placed additional responsibilities (regarding epinephrine auto-injectors and cardiac emergency response plans) on school nurses in Michigan. Establishing a partnership between the University of Michigan-Flint and the Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD) allowed RN to BSN students in the community health nursing course to complete enriching clinical experiences at selected GISD schools. While gaining valuable clinical knowledge, these nursing students helped school nurses comply with the new legislation's requirements. This partnership benefitted the nursing students, the school nurses, and the schools that served as clinical placement sites. Nursing school administrators and faculty members should consider pursuing similar clinical placement partnerships that could be advantageous for students and local communities.
许多护理学校和公立学校都面临着包括资源短缺在内的各种挑战。尽管优质实习岗位供应有限，但护理学校仍努力提供有意义的临床实习经历。同样，在许多学校护士已经超负荷工作的情况下，公立学校还被期望提供更多护理服务。例如，密歇根州的新州立法给该州的学校护士增加了额外职责（涉及肾上腺素自动注射器和心脏急救应急预案）。密歇根大学弗林特分校与杰纳西中级学区（GISD）建立伙伴关系，使得社区健康护理课程中的注册护士转护理学学士学生能够在选定的GISD学校完成丰富的临床实习经历。在获取宝贵临床知识的同时，这些护理专业学生帮助学校护士遵守新立法的要求。这种伙伴关系使护理专业学生、学校护士以及作为临床实习地点的学校都受益。护理学校管理人员和教师应考虑建立类似的临床实习伙伴关系，这对学生和当地社区可能都有利。
