Education and practice partnerships in California.
As the most populous state in the United States, California often serves as a bellwether of events to come. The following describes nursing work force issues in California, examples of how nurse educators are responding to health care system changes, and how practice colleagues are joining educators to prepare nurses for meeting the health needs of the people of California. The discussion begins with historical perspectives from the late 1980s to the present, the founding of the California Strategic Planning Committee for Nursing and its work, the Robert Wood Johnson Colleagues in Caring project for developing a master plan for nursing in California, and examples of existing programs in California that serve as models for preparing the best care providers to meet the health care needs of the population.

Baccalaureate to MSN: an accelerated pathway for second degree students.
While most nursing schools are experiencing declining enrollment, the author's baccalaureate nursing program saw an increase in applications from one group of people--those with non-nursing degrees. Realizing the value of this group to nursing and the department, the author describes how an accelerated master's degree pathway was developed and implemented for those with degrees in non-nursing fields.

Understanding cultural diversity through a student exchange program.
Nursing curriculum must include multicultural experiences to prepare nurses to work with the nation's ethnically diverse population. To meet this need, a pilot project was instituted between two Bachelor's of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs. It was hypothesized that students could develop new cultural perspectives by experiencing nursing with different ethnic groups. Two senior students from each institution were selected for the experience. The exchange program provided them with opportunities to assess and care for health problems in aggregates and families with whom they might not have had practice. The authors recommend that these types of programs be encouraged to introduce students to practice in settings and with cultures other than their own.
