Clinical Advancement and Recognition
Program for Professional Nurses
In
an effort to provide professional nurses with opportunities for growth,
development, and recognition of achievement, Lourdes supports a
Clinical Advancement and Recognition Program. The program delineates
five levels of practice. Eligibility for and advancement within the levels
is dependent upon prerequisites and achievement of selected criteria in
the areas of clinical practice, education, leadership, and research. These
areas, as described in the Lourdes Philosophy of Nursing, contribute to
“...the high standards of the nursing profession.” The Clinical
Advancement and Recognition Program provides a framework for self-directed
growth and advancement of professional nurses.
The program promotes professional development and encourages
contribution to the organization. Whether it be in such forms as committee
involvement, certification in a specialty, leading of community outreach
programs or involvement in nursing research, the creativity and knowledge
of nurses at Lourdes Hospital is fostered - to the ultimate benefit of the
nurse, the hospital, and the patient
