Abstract
The Teaching Nursing Home (TNH) initiative exposes future nurses to career opportunities and ignites excitement around working with older adults living in nursing homes (NHs). The NH environment remains an important setting for teaching students about the complex needs of older adults. Fostering strong partnerships between nursing programs and NHs enhances the educational experience for not only students and faculty, but NH staff. As part of the revitalized TNH collaborative, evidence-based frameworks, including experiential learning, person-centered care, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials, and Age-Friendly Care, are used to enhance nursing education and improve care in NHs. The TNH initiative has proven to be a transformative approach to nursing education and plays a vital role in addressing the growing needs of the aging population to ensure a more competent nursing workforce. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 50(12), 47-49.].
