Task Force Charge “The AACN Board of Directors charges the task force with the development of a white paper that re-envisions clinical training for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). “
To meet the charge the task force should: 1. Describe the current state of APRN
clinical training, challenges, and regulatory requirements.
To meet the charge the task force should: 2. Describe the nature of the collaborative
relationship that should be established with clinical training sites to facilitate the development of quality opportunities for students, including clinical training expectations for the school of nursing, patient care site, and preceptor.
To meet the charge the task force should:
3. Consider competency assessment as an emerging and potential element of a re-envisioned approach to APRN clinical training.
To meet the charge the task force should: 4. Develop a set of recommendations for
restructured or re-envisioned clinical training, including alternative models for APRN clinical training that: o maximize clinical resources; o consider current and potential financial
implications; o provide opportunities to prepare APRNs with the
full graduate, role and population-focused competencies; and
o highlight opportunities and innovations for interprofessional learning and practice.
Activities � Appointed in April 2013 � Began work in May 2013 � Meetings primarily by teleconference with
one face-to-face meeting in Washington, DC in January, 2014
� Hosted an invited stakeholders’ meeting in Washington October, 2014
� Presented final paper and recommendations to the AACN Board in January, 2015
Current State of APRN Clinical Training � Increased demand for APRN services � Many programs report being at capacity,
with clinical training (along with faculty shortages) cited as a major constriction in the pipeline
� > 13,000 qualified applications not accepted for graduate programs annually (AACN, 2015)
Current State of APRN Clinical Training � competition and scarce resources
for clinical training sites and preceptors
� mounting regulatory issues for in-state and distance-learning students
� inadequate or unstandardized preceptor training
Current State of APRN Clinical Training � compensation for preceptors
� variable student competence when entering clinical training
� productivity impact on preceptors
I. Simulation should be used to enhance APRN clinical education and the use of simulation to replace more traditional clinical experiences should be explored. � Demonstration projects � Funding for development of simulations;
national center of faculty innovation, preparation and certification
� National repository for valid/reliable simulations
� Develop and test simulations for APRN core competencies
II. AACN-AONE principles for academic-practce partnerships should be adopted by all APRN programs. � Co-development of clinical experiences � Incentives for practice sites and
preceptors � Develop and test models of academic-
practice regional consortia � Repository for preceptor orientation
manuals
III. APRN clinical education should be competency-based.
� Common taxonomy: competence, competencies and competency framework
� Identify common, measurable APRN competencies that cross the four roles
� Identify progression or milestones across each of the common competencies
� Develop standardized assessment tool for common competencies
IV. Support the development of alternative or innovative APRN clinical education models.
� Encourage regulatory body support for testing new models
� Support IPE experiences, use of technology, front-loading didactic
� Funding to develop and evaluate innovative clinical education models
Collaboration Between Academic Programs and Clinical Sites
� University of Pennsylvania Graduate Nurse Education (GNE) initiative
� Building Academic-Practice Partnerships: The Rush University GNE Model which featured Kathleen Delaney, Professor at Rush University College of Nursing
� The Clinical Excellence Initiative: A partnership between the University of Michigan School of Nursing and The University of Michigan Health System.
� AACN Academic-Practice Partnership Collaborative Community discussions.
Collaboration Between Academic Programs and Clinical Sites
� Academic Practice co-design of the clinical experience
� Collaborate and synchronize rather than compete

through an assessment process ◦ Alumnae and student collaboration community
stakeholder linkages and collaboration ◦ Vetting clinical experiences and preceptors � FACE to FACE and through technology such as
FaceTime, Adobe Connect , etc. ◦ Maintaining relationships � Signs of appreciation � Preceptorship reports for certification each semester � Preceptor feedback meetings and evaluation of

Preceptor Challenges in Midwifery Educa8on
2015 NCSBN APRN Roundtable April 15, 2015
Presented by Carrie Klima, CNM, PhD, FACNM Developed by Elaine Germano, CNM, DrPH, FACNM
Brief History of Midwifery Educa8on
• First program 1932, Maternity Center AssociaJon in NYC
• Second was FronJer Nursing Service, 1939, KY • Both educated public health nurses in midwifery, one urban, one rural, PNC + birth at home
Growth in number of programs • Slow growth through the 1960s • Midwifery moved to hospitals in late 1950s • Rapid growth in the 1970s, programs concurrent with large hospital-‐based services
• Growth always limited by requirement that students be taught by midwives
Change in type of preceptors • EducaJon programs located in medical centers with large midwifery services
• Midwifery pracJces move into the private sector, student placement in such pracJces
• Distance based educaJon began in 1980s, increased community based clinical educaJon
Factors that influence midwives to serve as preceptors*
• Survey of ACNM membership in 2012: – 83% could accept students – 78% took students from >1 program – 85% precepted other types of students – 65% could take only 1 student/semester
*Germano E, Schorn MN, Phillippi JC, Schuiling K. Factors that influence midwives to serve as preceptors: An ACNM Survey. J Midwifery Women’s Health.2014; 59 (2):167-‐175.
Mo8va8ng factors for preceptors • From a list of 14 opJons, most common was a commitment to the profession, 58.5%
• Least common: – Payment, 16% – Receive CEUs, 16% – SupporJve administraJon, 16%
Barriers to Precep8ng
• From a list of 23 opJons, most common was “Other”, 20%
• Not currently in pracJce, 14% • Need to meet paJent volume, 7% • Can only take students if paid, 0.7%
Contradictory findings • 38% of respondents were paid for precepJng • 16% idenJfied payment as a moJvaJng or enabling factor
• <1% idenJfied lack of payment as barrier • Most common write-‐in comment was importance of payment for precepJng
Midwifery Program Director Survey
• Undertaken by AccreditaJon Commission for Midwifery EducaJon (ACME)Fall 2014
• Greatest challenges to midwifery educaJon: – 88% cited clinical sites for students – 40% cited funding
Directors of Midwifery Educa8on
• Currently 39 midwifery educaJon programs • DOME meets twice per year, conJnual discussion of how to increase # clinical sites, to collaborate rather than compete
• All ideas welcome!
