NSM Celebrating Academic-Practice Partnerships (2017)

Beckman, S., & Fawcett, J. (Eds.). (2017). Neuman Systems Model: Celebrating Academic-Practice Partnerships.  Fort Wayne, IN: Neuman Systems Model Trustee Group, Inc.

This book is an innovative resource with a wealth of knowledge regarding application of the Neuman Systems Model, learner-centered learning, discussions of implementation and outcomes of student projects, and a variety of nursing education/nursing practice issues. 

A special feature of the book is the inclusion of contributing authors with various nursing education and practice backgrounds in conjunction with nursing student contributors.  The structure of the book chapters--with content addressing the quality and safety education for nurses (QSEN) followed by examples of academic-practice-partnerships--is an excellent format for sharing and validating information, and for identifying professional nursing practice.
