Description
Our health system offers a Clinical Ladder (CL) Program for Registered Nurses (RNs) that provides professional development opportunities and recognizes their knowledge, skills, efforts to support education, mentoring of new staff transitioning into practice, shared governance, and our ANCC Magnet Program® goals.
The program has been designed to encourage professional growth, improve the quality of care, and increase staff participation in activities that directly benefit each unit and site. The CL program has certain requirements and activities that must be completed within 12 months of signing a letter of intent (LOI) to complete the program. The ability to participate in the program is dependent on the RN’s manager’s approval.
Our health system has a CL committee which is tasked with evaluating applications as well as reviewing and updating the program as needed. An assessment of participants in the CL program had not been done at the study hospital in the past 5 years.
