Maximizing resources: the S.H.A.R.E. model of collaboration.

This article describes the S.H.A.R.E. model for collaborative programming that evolved from the joint Clarion, Edinboro, and Slippery Rock Universities graduate nursing programs. The five components of the model--students, administrative support, resources, educational technology, humor--are presented in relation to current organizational and leadership concepts that serve as their basis. The authors focus on the use of the model as a framework for meeting the educational and health care needs of rural Pennsylvanians through collaboration and shared interests.
