An educational collaboration for student nurse engagement on the essential skill of delegation.

• Collaboration between schools of nursing faculty and practice sites fosters collegial relationships, shared resources and expertise. • Decisions around the delegation of care are critical for quality patient outcomes. • Clinical site involvement in student education reinforced the importance of nursing clinical development, policy, and practice. • Short educational activities increase participant knowledge, allowing for teamwork and discussion to keep students engaged in active learning. A common goal for healthcare providers and nursing faculty is the provision of effective delivery of care and safe practice settings. Decisions around the delegation of care are critical for quality patient outcomes. The purpose of this collaborative project between schools of nursing and a local community healthcare facility was to provide educational training to prelicensure nursing students on the delegation expectations for nursing professionals.
