A New York nursing school will be instituting an innovative training strategy by forming an affiliation with a local hospital, according to the New York Daily News.

The training program, which is an extension of the Long Island University Nursing School, will send students to train at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn. The objective, according to school officials, is to revive the practice of having public hospitals train their own nurses; this variation from traditional diploma programs is viewed as a fresh solution to the nursing shortage.

The program represents the return of nursing education to Kings County Hospital (which hosted schools from 1897 into the 1970s) and will kick off in the fall of 2009. Financially, the program has largely been a result of a $7 million renovation paid for by the city's Health and Hospitals Corporation.
