Abstract
In March of 2020, Columbia University School of Nursing (CUSON) Masters Direct Entry (MDE) program and New York Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) created an innovative academic partnership to address the clinical needs of students and to help alleviate the burden of surging COVID-19 cases on nurses and the health care system. Through this partnership, students were hired as nurse technicians to assist with patient care during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this enhanced relationship, a pipeline of well-qualified graduate nurses with unique skills to adapt to a rapidly changing practice environment was created. Student participants in this opportunity developed an understanding of the organizational and leadership structures of the health care institution. The understanding of organizational and leadership structures will help transform the delivery of care.
