The first text to address the CNL role and the wider scope of nursing leadership

This is the first text to address not only the Clinical Nurse Leader role but also the wider scope of nursing leadership through the lens of the Clinical Nurse Leader. Written for CNL programs in the US and beyond, the book is organized according to the test blueprint of the AACN’s content outline for the latest CNL certification exam. By virtue of its expansive coverage of nursing leadership beyond the CNL—case managers, clinical educators, quality improvement specialists, and many other arenas—the text will also be a valuable addition to other nursing leadership programs.

The text examines APN/CNL leadership trends, types of leadership, health care advocacy, role implementation and integration, lateral integration of care services, and ethical nurse leadership. It broadly addresses patient assessment and clinical outcomes management, and covers the many facets of the care environment, from organizational structure to risk management to health care informatics and technology. Chapter objectives, clinical examples, exemplars, and other resources facilitate information retention. The text also serves as an authoritative study guide for CNL certification exam preparation.
