A collaborative model to introduce quality and safety content into the undergraduate nursing leadership curriculum.
Today's nursing students need an understanding of quality and safety (Q/S) concepts as well as the nurse's role in all phases of Q/S activities. Nursing students' Q/S learning experiences are typically anecdotal. This article describes a practice-academic partnership that raised students' awareness of Q/S within the practice environment. This partnership also resulted in healthcare providers' increased commitment to a culture of safety.
