The Formation of CALPROS The Consortium for Academic Access, Leadership Development, Professional Practice, Research-Based Outcomes, Organizational Involvement and Systems Support (CALPROS) was formed in 2008 and includes faculty and clinicians from the university, two community colleges, and four institutional partners.
The guiding principle for CALPROS is focused on the education of new nursing students and working RNs to provide safe, compassionate, quality nursing care within an increasingly complex health care system.
Another key to the success of CALPROS was to identify benefits to participation for each partner.
