Education of nurse practitioners in academic nurse-managed centers: student perspectives

Comparison of Nurse Managed Health Centers With Federally Qualified Health Centers as Safety Net Providers

“…The majority of care is provided by nurse practitioners in collaboration with other nursing and healthcare providers (e.g., physicians, dentists, social workers). NMHCs are often associated with academic institutions, providing educational settings for undergraduates and graduate students across disciplines (Pohl et al, 2004; Tanner, Pohl, Ward, & Dontje, 2003). In addition, there are some independent, free-standing nurse-led practices; however, little information and data are available on these independent practices compared to those associated with academic centers.…”

Job satisfaction and perceived autonomy for nurse practitioners working in nurse‐managed health centers

“…Many NMHCs began under academic nursing institutions (Pohl, Barkauskas, Benkert, Breer, & Bostrum, 2007;Tanner, Pohl, Ward, & Dontje, 2003) and health care provided in NMHCs uses the nursing model. NP fac-ulty members practice in NMHCs (Pohl et al, 2007;Van Zandt, Sloand, & Wilkins, 2008) and model the evidencebased practice they teach.…”

The Safety Net: Academic Nurse-Managed Centers’ Role

“…More recently, over the past 3 to 4 decades, the notions of community-based health services for underserved and other vulnerable populations have resurfaced. In addition, many NMCs are associated with schools of nursing (SONs), and their mission includes providing clinical sites for education, practice, and research as well as addressing the health needs of communities (Barger, 1986;Tanner, Pohl, Ward, & Dontje, 2003).…”
