UM Nursing Practice Network

Background

The University of Michigan Nursing Practice Network (UMNPN) is a multi-practice network representing the School of Nursing faculty's commitment to practice, education and research within the larger community. The UMNPN provides a structure for the broad range of faculty practices in various settings of health care. Although the School of Nursing's Faculty Practice Plan (FPP) has incorporated many of the practices among the faculty, not all faculty who practice participate in the FPP for various reasons. The UMNPN has the potential to elevate, make visible and embrace the full spectrum of faculty practice in the School of Nursing. The Network provides a context for these valuable and diverse practices and links them with the mission of education, research and service in the SON. The Network has the potential for making very visible a strong community of scholars linked with diverse practice settings and areas of focus. It also has the potential to attract students and faculty interested in linking practice, research, service and policy.

Mission

The UMNPN promotes practice capabilities of faculty and students to enhance educational experiences and research relevance to improve the health of the public.

Vision

The UMNPN advances nursing education and research through innovative faculty practice.
