Objectives
The initiative focuses on two objectives, both of which must be addressed in applicants’ proposals:
- Enabling nursing students working in healthcare environments to earn credit toward their clinical requirements through work
- Identifying 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.
Funding Information
Receive funding to implement their projects (up to $300,000 over three years).
Eligibility Criteria
- Organizations eligible to apply include public and private non-profit institutions of higher education in Texas. Institutions that are based outside of Texas but serve Texas students may also apply, but the proposed work must occur in the state and impact local students. In geographies where work is best coordinated outside of postsecondary institutions, particularly rural communities, workforce boards may apply as the lead
- Training organizations and non-profit community-based organizations that support nursing students and for-profit businesses and organizations are not eligible to serve as the lead organization, though may be involved and supported through funded projects.
