title: Empowering faculty through intrapreneurship: a change model.
abstract: Institutions of nursing education are faced with socioeconomic issues that threaten to endanger the quality of education. Major issues such as budget cutbacks, changes in student populations, and decreasing numbers of professors mandate change if educational institutions are to survive. At the same time, health care reform provides nurse educators with an unprecedented opportunity to restructure curriculum. This article suggests that a method for meeting the challenge for educational reform while facing socioeconomic constraints is through intrapreneurship.
