Abstract
As the demand for registered nurses increases, innovative methods for stabilizing, improving, and ensuring the longevity of quality clinical nursing education should be considered. Traditionally, full-time nursing faculty teach nursing students in clinical settings. Considering the impending nurse educator crisis, characterized by increasing demands on a dwindling nursing faculty, traditional approaches to clinical nursing education are no longer feasible. A new clinical cohort model (CCM), developed from an academic/health system partnership, is proposed as an innovative approach to future clinical nursing education. CCM implementation resulted in a significant reduction in the cost of educating nursing students. The health care system noted a 100% postgraduation 2-year retention rate among cohort students. Nursing students overwhelmingly expressed satisfaction, comfort, and new opportunities through participation in the CCM. This new CCM has significant benefits for schools of nursing, health care systems, and nursing students.
