About RUSH Faculty Practice
Established in the 1970s by inaugural dean Luther Christman, PhD, RN, FAAN, the RUSH faculty practice program has evolved to serve the healthcare needs of Chicago residents and the educational and scholarship needs of nursing students and faculty. From our first partnership with Chicago Public Schools, RUSH now has more than 24 partner site located in Chicago’s Near West and South Sides. Nurses provide more than 45,000 hours of direct patient care to historically underserved communities and nearly 17,000 hours of clinical learning experiences to prelicensure and DNP students. In September 2022, the faculty practice program became the Department of Academic Practice Nursing in the College of Nursing.
