The Staff Nurse III, HH/H III programs have
been developed to offer recognition and career advancement
opportunities for those nurses who have excelled in clinical
practice, leadership and professionalism. The Staff Nurse
III and HH/H III roles are designed to enable the clinically
expert Staff Nurse to find continuing recognition and rewards
in the provision of direct care in his/her area of clinical
specialty.
The Staff Nurse III and HH/H III functions in the clinical
setting as an exemplary care giver to patients, a model of
proficiency for co-workers, and a colleague to physicians.
From years of nursing experience and a continued expansion
of clinical knowledge, the Clinical Expert (SN III or HH/H
III) is a skilled practitioner who demonstrates leadership
by:
identifying, communicating and fulfilling patient needs;
coordinating and utilizing facility and community resources
to meet patient needs;
promoting a multi-disciplinary approach to patient care;
assuming a teaching-coaching role with other nurses and
health team members, and;
maintaining a flexible approach to resource constraints.
Through an intuitive use of knowledge, fine discretionary
judgement, experience and leadership, the Clinical Expert
is able to provide the best possible patient care in a safe
environment.
