    Abstract:
    In 2002, a Community Academic Practice Alliance (CAPA) was forged between Marin County, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and local bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) nursing programs. This alliance has increased opportunities for DHHS to recruit new baccalaureate registered nurses, eliminated competition among universities for community health nursing (CHN) placements, enriched experiences for BSN students, and enhanced service to the community. This article describes the development process and examines preceptor, faculty, and student satisfaction. It also describes students' attitudes toward CHN and public health nursing, which increased significantly (p < .001, 95% confidence interval of 1.11-2.14). Process evaluation (17 Likert items, on a scale ranging from 1 [low] to 4 [high]) revealed a mean of 3.30 with a standard deviation of 0.328 suggesting CAPA members' satisfaction with the process. This project was presented at the American Public Health Association 131st annual meeting, San Francisco, California, November 2003.
