The purpose of this Summit was to develop a coordinated approach to address gaps between and within academia and practice and optimize clinical learning experiences for the future of nursing in Texas. Over 130 nurse stakeholders from academia and practice settings, along with various national and state nursing organizations, attended the summit. The attendees were invited based on nominations from their member organizations. The two-day Summit utilized presentations and a world café format to engage participants in open discussion and problem solving.
