The Teaching Nursing Homes Series

The Teaching Nursing Home Series prepares nursing home supervisory staff and nursing school faculty to develop academic-practice partnerships. This series describes how to create successful student clinical rotations in nursing homes that allow students to care for older adults with complex and overlapping illnesses. It helps to create strategies that enhance interaction among healthcare teams, promote a faculty/staff partnership that fosters the student’s appreciation of the complexity of care, and increase the staff's ability to effectively work with novice nurses.
