A paradigm shift…

• Only through thoughtful academic-practice partnerships will it be possible to align the current and future demands of the workplace with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills required of the new nurse.

• We at the Edson College of Nursing & Health Innovation at ASU are poised to use innovative approaches to the academic and experiential preparation for the nurse in ways that advance the mission of our practice partners, fluidly respond to the demands of the clinical settings and the needs of specific patient populations.

• Through a deliberate process that matches students at the onset of their nursing education with a stable clinical partner, the promise of a collaborative pipeline can be realized.
