  17. Regional Strategy #2 • Sharing Faculty & Faculty Development Efforts • minimizes nursing faculty shortage • encourages “grow your own” planning • promotes academic specialization Model: North Carolina

  18. Regional Strategy #3 • Sharing Clinical Simulation Instruction • reduces equipment costs • consolidates faculty, technical expertise • reduces number / use of clinical sites Model: South Carolina

  19. Regional Strategy #4 • Sharing Clinical Placement & Scheduling • maximizes administrative efficiency and availability of sites Model: Gulf Coast and Central Texas programs
