Clinical Nurse Specialist - Critical Care

Description

Using the Synergy Model, the Sr Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) supports, supervises, and evaluates staff new to a clinical setting during their first 90 to 180 days (18 months at PAMC) on the unit. The CNS acts within the nurse‑patient, nurse‑nurse, and nurse‑system spheres, facilitates a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach in the provision of health care within a specialty area, promotes excellence in nursing care through the implementation of clinical standards of practice and establishing competency standards for staff members, demonstrates a firm knowledge base and clinical expertise, functions as a clinical resource, conducts and facilitates patient‑care consultation, and provides resources to assess the impact of appropriate practice on patient outcomes.

The CNS also supports clinical rounds with the multidisciplinary health‑care team and works closely and collaboratively with the physicians in establishing collegial relationships that benefit staff, patients, and the community.
