The faculty fellowship program: uniting service and education.
The outcomes of the pilot year for this project met the goals of increased faculty clinical skills, increased nursing personnel at the unit level and the completion of specified projects based on identified clinical needs. Continued development of the Faculty Fellowship Program will yield further opportunity to study benefits, such as increased student performance in the acute care setting, increased recruitment of graduate nurses and improved integration of nursing education and service in addressing health care issues.
