A collaborative work study program between nursing service and education.
A work study program allows students to gain academic credit while earning a salary for the nursing services they render. At the same time, they gain additional experience to increase clinical competence. The program can also serve as a recruiting device for the employing healthcare agency. The authors describe a specific work study program developed between a nursing department in a large urban medical center and a university nursing program.
