This article describes solutions to one of the challenges that nursing programs throughout the nation face--the employment of clinically expert nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists as clinical adjunct faculty who lack the educational foundation to teach students. Some of the difficulties experienced by clinical adjunct faculty, university administrators, and full-time faculty are presented. Solutions described include a clinical adjunct workshop, collaboration between hospitals and universities, mentoring, and incorporation of technology. Collaboration, commitment, and thoroughness are essential to the development of the clinical adjunct in the role of clinical educator.
