BackgroundProfessional nursing in South Africa is obtained through a 4-year diploma offered at nursing colleges, or a 4-year degree in universities, and the South African Nursing Council (SANC) registered both for professional nursing. New SANC legislation now requires a bachelor’s degree for registration as professional nurse.ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to explore and describe perceptions of nurse educators and stakeholders to develop a model of collaboration for joint education and training of nursing professionals by colleges and universities through a bachelor’s degree.MethodA mixed methods approach was used to explore perceptions of nurse educators utilising a questionnaire, and perceptions of other nurse training stakeholders through interviews, about a model of collaboration between the college and the university.ResultsThemes that emerged from the interviews included identifying collaboration goals, establishing a conducive environment, maximising exchange of resources, role clarification and perceived challenges. Quantitative results showed high agreement percentages (84.13%–100%) on most basic concepts and themes. A model of collaboration was developed indicating a framework, agents, recipients, procedure, dynamics, and terminus.ConclusionA model of collaboration was acceptable to the majority of nurse education stakeholders. Other implications are that there was a need for the improvement of scholarship among nurse educators and clinical mentors, sharing rare skills, and addressing perceived challenges.

“…For example, a collaborative partnership between a university-based school of nursing and a tertiary care hospital has yielded benefits for more than twenty years according to Horns and colleagues, providing an opportunity to creatively address a shortage of new nurses, a shortage of advanced practice nurses, and the advancement of clinical nursing research [12]. Future work of the CPNR will include setting directions for research, developing an ethical framework for collaboration, and developing and tracking outcomes associated with cross-institutional partnerships.…”

Background. Collaborative nursing research across academic and practice settings is imperative to generate knowledge to improve patient care. Models of academic/practice partnerships for nursing research are lacking. This paper reports data collected before and during a one-day retreat for nurse researchers and administrators from local universities and health care organizations designed to establish a regional nursing research partnership. Methods. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to address the study aims: (1) to assess research involvement and institutional research resources; (2) to assess interest in and concerns regarding cross-institutional collaborations; and (3) to describe perceptions of the purpose of a partnership and resources needed to ensure success. Results. Participants (n = 49) had differing perceptions of accessibility to resources; participants in practice settings reported less accessibility to resources, notably grant development, informatics, and research assistant support. Participants were interested in collaboration although concerns about conflict of interest were expressed. Four themes related to partnering were identified: harnessing our nursing voice and identity; developing as researchers; staying connected; and positioning for a collaborative project. Conclusion. Academic-practice research collaborations will become increasingly important with health care system changes. Strategies to develop and sustain productive partnerships should be supported.

“…Collaboration between universities and hospitals or health agencies is not a new phenomenon and models of collaborative relationship have evolved over time [36,37] . The partnership between NH and UNBC is acknowledged within a memorandum of agreement outlining the interdependencies between the two organizations and sets a framework for partnering on research, undergraduate and graduate education, and practice development in all health related disciplines.…”

An important way to address the chronic shortage of registered nurses in rural healthcare is to provide undergraduate education opportunities in rural settings. Few programs however, prepare all of their graduates for rural practice. The purpose of this article is to discuss undergraduate programs in a School of Nursing in mid-northern Canada with a focus on caring for rural populations. Issues posed by a vast, sparsely populated rural and northern geography for nursing education are explored. Key concerns in curriculum, clinical practice opportunities, student support, administration, and faculty engagement are discussed in light of how they may be embraced and addressed in ways that promote high quality nursing education, particularly undergraduate education. Central to the School and program's success is a practice-driven approach to nursing education that is built upon a multi-faceted partnership with the regional health authority. Instead of viewing rural nursing as a program component, this paper offers an approach to making rural practice central to the character of nursing education programs.
