Streamlining Success Healthcare Training Programs

Trellis Foundation and UpSkill America at the Aspen Institute are excited to announce a new opportunity designed to support innovations in nursing education. Working with the support of a learning community, 8-10 partners will be selected to participate in a three-year initiative facilitated by UpSkill America that will work to achieve the following objectives:

Enable nursing students working in healthcare environments to earn credit toward their clinical requirements through work. The Texas Board of Nursing Education Guideline 3.7.4 enables nursing students to meet clinical hours requirements through employment, based on the development of a partnership arrangement between the education provider and employer partner.

Identify and address policies and practices that are restricting nursing students’ ability to complete academic and clinical requirements while also holding a job (in healthcare or otherwise). This may include shifting didactic learning online, creating more flexible clinical placement schedules, development regional clinical placement and faculty recruitment systems, and other approaches.
