title: Welfare-to-work training: a public/private partnership that shapes the nation.
abstract: The nursing service of the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital (Tampa, FL) was one of the first to join with public and private community agencies to develop a welfare-to-work program. The results of this joint effort have produced a recruitment, training, and preceptorship program that has successfully filled the need for certified nursing assistants, identified the hospital as a source of certified nursing assistants, and provided the opportunity to support local and national welfare-to-work initiatives.
