ARLINGTON, TEXAS — The North Texas Consortium of Schools of Nursing, in collaboration with area hospitals, has developed patient care teaching modules to share with schools of nursing in Texas. Modules are based on high-risk, high-volume patient diagnoses likely to be encountered in nursing practice. The goal is to increase patient safety as well as the clinical competence and confidence of new nurses.

The North Texas schools of nursing include: Collin Community College District, El Centro College, Grayson Community College, North Central Texas College, Southwest Adventist University, Tarrant County Community College, Texas Christian University, Texas Woman's University, University of Texas at Arlington, and Trinity Valley Community College.

Hospitals participating: Arlington Memorial, Baylor Health Care System, Children's Medical Center Dallas, Harris Methodist Fort Worth, Hospital Corporation of America-North Texas Division, John Peter Smith Health System, Kaufman Lake Pointe Medical Center, Medical Center of Plano, Medical Center at Terrell, Parkland Health and Hospital System, Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, Texas Health Resources, Texoma Health Care Systems, and Wilson N. Jones Medical Center.
