Abstrakt: Background: The ongoing nurse faculty shortage has resulted in a need for schools of nursing to become both innovative and creative in their approach to nursing education. A literature review revealed some schools of nursing across the United States are sharing faculty for undergraduate and pre-licensure nursing programs.
Purpose: The purpose of this pilot project was to explore the effectiveness of a shared faculty content expert in a live-streamed lecture modality to improve nursing schools' access to high quality specialty content. The feasibility and satisfaction of sharing a course and faculty between two independent schools of nursing were evaluated.
Methods: An online synchronous format was utilized to share a mental health nursing course between two independent schools of nursing.
Results: Results indicated that theoretical classroom content and experiences can be shared and delivered synchronously among schools of nursing; however, challenges existed related to scheduling conflicts. Additionally, technology issues were found to negatively impact the student experience at times.
Conclusion: Given the challenges identified in the project, an asynchronous content delivery modality may be a more advantageous option. Future research is needed to identify ways to mitigate the challenges experienced.
