The Teaching Nursing Home (TNH) represents one of the major approaches to improve the quality of long-term care services to evolve over the past decade. The authors present their interdisciplinary approach to seeking TNH affiliations from area nursing homes through the use of a request for proposal (RFP) process. The components of this process, including identification of benefits to both the nursing home and the university; development of strong collaborative relationships; establishment of methods of shared decision-making about program and service mix, research protocols, and selection of key staff; joint appointments of personnel; and evaluation of potential TNH partners are discussed.

Physicians can ease nursing shortage.

In spite of a small increase in nursing school enrollments for the first time in five years, the demand for nursing services will continue to outstrip the supply during this decade. The solutions to this dilemma are obvious: More efficient use of the current supply of nurses and increased numbers of people entering the nursing profession. This article addresses the second solution, exploring the influence of physicians on career choices in nursing and describing a model doctor/nurse relationship that brings nurses pride and job satisfaction.
