Who are the TCPS℠ TN Partners?
Current Listing of TN Partners
In Fall of 2005, the TCN convened a consortium of leaders from schools of nursing, healthcare facilities and other healthcare entities to initially form the Regional Clinical Placement Partnership (RCPP) in Middle Tennessee and develop plans for an online clinical placement program. The partnership's mission is to improve the efficacy and capacity of student nurse clinical placements in Tennessee healthcare facilities through the use of a centralized, coordinated, on-line clinical placement and orientation system.The initial work of the RCPP met with great success and soon other areas of the state were interested in joining together to form regional partnerships in other areas of the state leading to the formation of the collective Tennessee Clinical Placement Partnership or TCPP. Schools and Clinical Facilities across the state are coming together to form additional RCPPs under the TCPP model. These are founded upon a union of common purposes where all parties benefit from the synergies of cooperation and the fruits of success. It is a “working relationship” characterized by mutual participation, joint interest, and mutual respect.
Regions of the state are in varying stages of organizing:
Because of the geographic locations of Tennessee's major cities, partnership has been extended across state lines to schools and facilities in other states that bring students into Tennessee and/or supply clinical placements to students from Tennessee. For instance, Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green Kentucky was the first partner outside of the state to partner with the Middle Tennessee RCPP because they bring students into Tennessee Clinical Facilities. Today, we have additional Tennessee partners in Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi. We welcome NON-Tennessee Partners!
