“When the Middle Tennessee region piloted using StudentMAX® for clinical placements, we found 43 open placements in 4 facilities; a year later we have identified 487 open placements in 14 facilities. Prior to the implementation of StudentMAX®, the average time spent in both facilities and schools to initiate and confirm clinical placements was 16 days; placements requested/approved using StudentMAX® now average 2 working days. As we grow, our clinical placement system into other regions of the state and offer other value added tools such as our online clinical orientation and system evaluation programs that enhance the efficiency and quality of the student placement process, StudentMAX® serves as our cornerstone tool to post and request clinical opportunities.” To view, click here. Pam Taylor, Program Director, Tennessee Clinical Placement System, TN “I place students in 5 hospitals; I can’t imagine doing this with the old, pre-StudentMAX® method!” Beth Norman, Medical-Surgical Clinical Nurse Specialist, Legacy Health System, Portland, OR “We are able to download placements by unit and send info to the nursing units term by term to help their staff know who is coming when and to arrange preceptors for senior students.” Mary Stock, Educational Consultant, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR “As the Director of a nursing program new to the region, the ability to look at available clinical sites in one location is a tremendous time-saver. By working with the Placement Consortium and using StudentMAX®, I probably saved hundreds of hours that would have been spent in contacting each and every clinical site to explore options…. ” Joy Ingwerson, Nursing Program Director, Apollo College, Portland, OR “Prior to utilizing StudentMAX®, I had to meet individually with 8 hospital educators to arrange placements. Now, with centralized coordination and collaboration of clinical and education partners, it is so smooth. We are all in this together!” Linda Meyer, Lead Faculty, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR • Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence • University of North Florida Board of Trustees for the benefit of University of North Florida • Massachusetts Board of Higher Education • Michigan Health Council • Minnesota Clinical Coordination Project • Children’s Mercy Hospital, Missouri • Mississippi Office of Nursing Workforce • Northeast Ohio Nursing Initiative/Center for Health Affairs • Tennessee Center for Nursing • Health Industry Steering Committee at WorkSource, Greater Austin Area Workforce Board, Texas • Northwest Nursing Clinical Placement Consortium, Washington
