title: A model to restructure nursing education. Vision on 22nd street.
abstract: Since 1993, the Cleveland State University Department of Nursing and the Visiting Nurse Association of Cleveland have been involved in an innovative partnership known as Vision on 22nd Street. This partnership has produced a model to restructure the nursing curriculum and the practice setting in such a way that a seamless process, fully integrated within university and agency operations, prepares undergraduate nursing students for community-based practice. The groundwork supporting the model, the development of the curriculum, the preparation of participants, and the implementation of the model for program evaluation are the subject of this article.
