title: Learning collaboration in a laboratory setting.
abstract: Collaboration is a process that contributes in many ways to improved nursing care. Before collaboration can be practiced effectively, the component skills must be learned. This paper describes a course for graduate students that was developed for this purpose. The students learn basic skills in the classroom and apply them to patients in a laboratory setting. An overview of collaboration, the collaboration course, and clinical application is presented.
