The first new nursing role in 35 years!
The model Transforming Practice, Transforming Care™ provides
the reader with a practical framework to implement the Clinical
Nurse Leader role in any work environment. Based upon four
key areas of expertise and functionality, and recognizing the
responsibilities a CNL has for adding to the professional develop-
ment of themselves and those with whom they work, this book
offers practical tips and tools to help transition the CNL role from
concept to reality as a ‘point of care’ clinician, working alongside
direct caregivers, members of interdisciplinary teams, and other
partners and colleagues who provide the unit/department leadership.

This book is an essential resource for all existing and aspiring Clinical<
Nurse Leaders, for educators involved in preparing CNL graduates,
for all senior nursing leaders who are considering or have already
implemented this role, and for anyone who just wants to find out
more about this exciting next step in professional nursing.

“This book was just what we were looking for to help ‘decode’ the White paper putout by AACN on the CNL. My students love it, quote it in their papers, and can now say they better understand the roles and responsibilities of the CNL. In addition, we havepurchased copies to give to nurse educators that help us with field placements for ourclinical courses so that they may better learn about the role and find clinical preceptorswho might be willing to advocate for these roles in practice. We are also thinking aboutpurchasing books to distribute to all of our clinical faculty so that they better understandthe roles and responsibilities of the CNL and can frame clinical experiences to coincide with these roles. Thank you for your valuable contribution to the discipline!”

“Very helpful for beginning CNL students in introductory course. The model givesthem the structure they need especially if their clinical
