Transition to Critical Care Practice Within an Academic-Service Partnership: A Case Report of the First 3 Years of Clinical Immersion in Trauma-Burn and Neuroscience Critical Care.

In response to regulators of nursing education and the Institute of Medicine, an academic-service partnership was formed between a research-intensive school of nursing and a tertiary health care facility. In that partnership, clinical experiences occurred mostly within 1 organization. This case report showcases the development, implementation, and revisions within our capstone immersion course, designed to ease the new graduates' transition into practice, including transitions to critical care nursing.
