Administrative challenges in a collaborative baccalaureate program.
The collaboration between Vancouver General Hospital and the University of British Columbia in offering the four-year baccalaureate nursing program is unique, as it is the first of its kind in Canada. This paper describes the administrative challenges that occurred at VGH as a result of this collaboration. These challenges arose as a result of altered roles and responsibilities, as well as changes in organizational structure and function. Nurse administrators, who are involved in educational collaborations, may find that they are facing similar challenges.
