Clinical Nurse Leader Reference Document
Purpose Statement
This document serves as a reference to define the role and educational preparation of the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) and identify applications for this role in perioperative practice.
Role Definition
According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN):
“. . . the CNL is a leader in the health care delivery system across all settings in which health care is delivered, not just the acute care setting. The CNL functions within a microsystem and assumes accountability for the healthcare outcomes for a specific group of clients within a unit or setting through assimilation and application of research-based information to design, implement, and evaluate client plans of care. The CNL is a provider and a manager of care at the point of care to individuals and cohorts. The CNL designs, implements, and evaluates client care by coordinating, delegating, and supervising the care provided by the health care team, including licensed nurses, technicians, and other health professionals.” 1(p5)
Educational Preparation
1. The CNL pursues a Masters of Science in Nursing with a defined CNL track. Curriculum components include:
• liberal education as the foundation;
• professional education;
• strong base in the physical and social science;
• learning experiences in philosophy, the arts, and humanities;
• professional values of caring, altruism, autonomy, human dignity, integrity, and social justice;
• core competencies of critical thinking communication, assessment, nursing technology, and resource management; and core knowledge of health promotion, risk reduction and disease prevention, illness and disease management, ethics, human diversity, global health care, and health care systems and policy. 2
