Yesterday I took and Successfully passed the national certification exam to offically hold the title of, "Certified Clinical Nurse Leader." Every hospital as well as outpatient clinics can benefit from the skills and resources that a CNL brings to an organization. I can't wait to someday use all of my previous experiences and education to serve in this type of role. What do CNL's do you ask? Here is a description from the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing. The Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) is a specialized nursing role that focuses on improving patient care outcomes and coordinating care within interdisciplinary health care teams. Here are some key aspects of the CNL role: 1.Coordinating Patient Care: CNLs oversee care coordination for a specific group of patients. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure seamless transitions and continuity of care. 2. Measuring Patient Outcomes: CNLs assess patient outcomes, evaluate the effectiveness of care plans, and identify areas for improvement. They use data and evidence-based practices to enhance patient care. 3. Risk Assessment: CNLs assess risks across groups of patients and develop or revise care plans accordingly. Their goal is to minimize risks and enhance patient safety 4. Research and Implementation: CNLs stay informed about the latest research and evidence in nursing practice. They implement new policies and practices within their clinical setting to improve patient care 5. Communication and Collaboration: CNLs serve as lateral integrators of care, bridging communication channels between different healthcare teams. They actively collaborate with physicians, nurses, therapists, and other professionals to optimize patient outcomes. 6. Quality Standards: CNLs ensure that quality standards are met in patient care. They actively participate in quality improvement initiatives and contribute to the overall excellence of nursing practice. Overall, the CNL role combines clinical competence, leadership, and a commitment to improving patient care outcomes. Earning CNL certification demonstrates a nurse’s dedication to professional development and excellence in nursing practic https://lnkd.in/gRqf2bYx

Last Tuesday was our first combined hands-on competency review session for the ambulatory clinics at ECU Health Physicians, bringing together the nursing (RN, LPN) and allied health (CMA, RMA, MA, Rad Tech, CT) team members from academic and community primary care and several specialty clinics. This session allows team members to rotate through stations to review and validate high risk, low volume, and high impact skills. Many of us are used to the high risk/low volume skills but I added in a few items and referred to them as "high impact" skills. These are items that are frequently occurring in many areas (ex: blood pressure measurement) but if performed incorrectly it could have major impacts to the patient's treatment plan and the data that is submitted for hypertension control would not accurately reflect the patient's true disease control and the work our teams do each day. We have one more skills session coming up for our Greenville based primary care and community specialty clinics. Shout out to my team of two amazing nurse educators, Jennifer and Materria, who take this show on the road and cover all of our regional clinics with the support of the clinic staff and the support of Stacey and Kimberly Manning, the Quality Nurse Specialists within ECU Health Physicians. Huge thanks to our leadership who supported us in getting instructors and team members together for the day! Pictured below are Sandy Goff, MSN, RN-BC, Nurse Administrator with ECU Health's Department of Cardiovascular Sciences and Staci Adams, BSN, RN, Panel Manager with ECU Health Physicians (based out of the Wilson Healthplex). They covered the 12-lead EKG and emergency response station. Extra points to you if you caught that the 12-lead stickers aren't quite in the right location- that's on purpose (that is part of the learning experience and the learner will then be expected to demonstrate the correct location and landmarks)! #lifelonglearning #ECUHealth #ECUHealthPhysicians #ECUHealthEducation

In an industry where evidence based practice is the gold standard, there is abundant research that shows ratios work. There is also abundant research that we are declining in patient safety and nurse retention. Why is it so controversial to support ratios? To my knowledge, the AHA and AONL have not provided research that ratios DON'T WORK...or that their suggested approaches do work. So how can they make claims that ratios are not working? If we base our practices in nursing and medicine on research, we should not cherry pick the evidence. Follow the research.
