Hospitals and philanthropy as partners in funding nursing education. [Journal Article, Review]
Nurs Econ 2007 Mar-Apr; 25(2):95-100, 109, 55.


The current nursing shortage is complex and varies widely across the country, and remedial approaches lack adequate funding from the federal government. Lasting remedies must originate from new and different partnerships between multiple institutions with complementary missions in these markets. Hospitals as major nurse employers and foundations that leverage critical sources of financing have a vital role in partnerships. Together they promote and require new entrepreneurial skills, innovative educational strategies, and greater accountability in meeting area workforce needs.
