A Resource Guide for Employers, Hiring Managers, and Nursing Executives
As healthcare delivery continues to evolve, there is a growing need for master’s-prepared nurses who are qualified to deliver safe, cost effective, cutting edge, and higher quality healthcare. Transformations in healthcare needs among our nation’s changing demographics, along with advances in medical technology, make the role of nurses more critical and engaging than it has ever been. As a result of industry evolution, there is a rising need for certified Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNLs).
To date, there are more than 7,000 master’s-prepared CNLs certified through the CNC certification program. This rise in certified CNLs has triggered a tremendous growth in the number of certified CNLs integrated into healthcare. Since there has been an increased need for the certified CNL skill set in healthcare settings, employers, hiring managers, and nursing executives have sought guidance and resources on how to establish successful CNL programs at their facilities.
CNC has developed an Employer Resource Guide, which discusses critical issues to consider when developing a CNL program.
In this guide, you will:
- Learn about the CNL Skill Set and Core Competencies
- Review Components of a Successful CNL program
- Explore Approaches to Integrating a CNL in Your Practice Setting
