Transforming nursing education by bridging the gap between practice and academia to build a stronger healthcare future.
Through SNAPPI, our partners go beyond simply providing opportunities for clinical education. Together, we empower highly-valued bedside nurses to serve as instructors and mentors through an innovative time buy-back model that solves the common issues of pay disparity, coordination hassle, and work-life imbalance.
We are building a stronger, more sustainable pipeline of nurse educators to ensure that every student receives the practical, real-world training, needed to deliver excellent care. By investing in the next generation of nurses, our Clinical Partners are solving today’s workforce challenges, shaping tomorrow’s healthcare leaders, and improving the likelihood of retaining their best nurses.

Participating in the SNAPPI model provides your hospital with an unparalleled advantage in recruiting emerging nursing talent. By embedding nursing students directly into your units with your own expert nurses as their faculty, you gain deep, firsthand knowledge of their skills, work ethic, and cultural fit long before they enter the industry. This extended "interview' process significantly enhances your ability to attract and retain the best and brightest graduate nurses, building a robust and familiar pipeline of future nurses who are already oriented to your hospital's environment and procedures.

The SNAPPI model provides a direct and sustainable solution to one of the most significant bottlenecks in nursing education: the shortage of qualified clinical faculty. By empowering experienced, hospital-based nurses to step into adjunct faculty roles without leaving their full-time positions, you gain access to a rich, untapped pool of educators. This innovative "time-buyback" approach eliminates the financial and logistical barriers that typically prevent expert clinicians from teaching. The result is an expanded capacity to accept more students, reduce waitlists, and ultimately increase the number of graduates your program can produce to meet the critical demands of the healthcare workforce.

Elevate your clinical education from a standard rotation to a deeply immersive learning experience. With the SNAPPI model, your students are taught and mentored by a nurse who is a current, respected member of the hospital they are learning in. This seamless integration provides students with an authentic, day-to-day understanding of the hospital's culture, workflow, and patient care protocols. This unique dynamic, where the instructor is also a colleague of the hospital staff, fosters a more welcoming and supportive environment, enhancing student confidence, and providing a true-to-life education that simply cannot be replicated by traditional adjunct faculty who are external to the clinical site.

Move beyond transactional clinical placement agreements and build a truly synergistic partnership with your local hospitals and healthcare systems.
