In 2007, VA launched a new initiative that partners VA's world-class health care
system with the country's finest nursing schools to provide compassionate, highly-educated
nurses to look after the health care needs of the nation's veterans.
The initiative, the "Enhancing Academic Partnerships Program" enables stronger,
mutually beneficial relationships between nursing schools and VA facilities by:
- Expanding faculty and professional development
- Increasing nursing student enrollment, primarily in baccalaureate programs although
some increases in graduate programs may also occur,
- Providing opportunities for educational and practice innovations, and
- Increasing recruitment and retention of VA nurses as a result of enhanced roles
in nursing education.
The VA Nursing Academy is not a nursing school itself but is a
partnership with accredited nursing schools. Therefore, the VA Nursing Academy does
not select or admit students. This is the responsibility of the school of nursing
in the partnership.
