Henry Street Consortium Partnership Engagement Model
The Henry Street Consortium developed a partnership engagement model for best practices for nurse educators and public health nurses to plan and organize clinical experiences for nursing students. This project was funded by a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation alumni grant received by Bonnie Brueshoff, Public Health Director from Dakota County, Minnesota. Pat Schoon, Assistant Professor from Metropolitan State University and Marjorie Schaffer, Professor of Nursing Emerita from Bethel University, also collaborated on grant activities.

Pat Schoon, Assistant Professor from Metropolitan State University and Marjorie Schaffer, Professor of Nursing Emerita from Bethel University, also collaborated on grant activities.
Project methods (2014 to 2016)
- Surveyed consortium members on desired education topics, tools, and resources to facilitate student learning about public health nursing.
- Developed electronic modules for faculty and PHNs on the following topics: Core Functions and Cornerstones of Public Health Nursing; Public Health Intervention Wheel; Precepting Nursing Public Health Students Using the Henry Street Level Competencies
- Piloted tools with 8 faculty/PHN teams (among 6 Public Health agencies and 3 Schools of Nursing).
- Conducted focus groups to learn about experiences and suggestions for refining tools and developing partnerships.
- Consortium members determined next steps for tool and partnership development; this process is ongoing.
Project Outcomes
- Module access, resources, and tools are posted on the Henry Street Consortium web site under Resources. Tools may be adapted by educators and PHNs to tailor for their use with students and PHNs.
- Lessons learned include the following:
- The resources and tools provide structure for organizing clinical learning experiences. They facilitated learning, reflection, and providing feedback.
- Face to face communication between PHNs and nursing faculty enhanced partnership development and activities.
- Student learning activities need to be consistent with agency staffing, time, and goals.
- Faculty engagement in the partnership is essential to facilitate everyone in “being on the same page.”
- Orientation of new PHNs and educators to Henry Street resources and tool needs to be intentional; mentorship is important for continuity and consistency.
