Recruitment and retention of strong nurse leaders is essential to our health care delivery system, highlighting a need for early career engagement and mentorship. Combining experiential and didactic learning through an academic–practice partnership facilitated the creation of a 1-year leadership program for prelicensure nursing students, highlighting nursing leadership as a future career specialty.
