Abstract

The ongoing nursing shortage and the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic have further challenged nursing staff with devastating shortages. This article describes the Faculty Nurse Attending Model, an innovative approach incorporating nursing faculty into staffing and the ongoing interdisciplinary rounds at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. The Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing faculty actively participates in the pilot unit to support nursing practice and ensure that the curricula address contemporary practice.
