In part two of a series of articles describing a public and private collaborative effort to redesign nursing education to prepare the future nursing workforce, Ronald et al discuss how the CCNA (Center to Champion Nursing in America) is helping to expand nursing education capacity state by state. In 2008 and 2009 the CCNA, AARP, the RWJF, the US Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA), and the US Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) convened two national summits on nursing education capacity, in order to address the challenges in teaching sufficient numbers of nurses the skills required in the 21st century. The CCNA also provides technical assistance to individual states. Technical assistance, as defined by the CCNA, is the facilitation of communication exchanges and knowledge acquisition between subject matter experts and learning parties. The technical assistance program helps bring the best practices and expertise of model state teams (exemplars), which have experienced successes in expanding nursing education capacity, to the other state teams.
