COMMENT 1

The clinical     nurse leader is a master level educated nurse that works to improve     quality care, by collecting and evaluating treatment results, and     work to improve out comes by advocating for evidence-based changes     (Register Nursing, n.d.). The clinical nurse leader requires a high     level of clinical competency and knowledge, and during the master     level classes requires advanced courses in pathophysiology, clinical     assessment, and pharmacology with a focus on general medicine,     opposed to just one primary discipline (Register Nurse, n.d.). The     clinical nurse leader works closely with patients and will provide     direct clinical leadership to ensure safe care delivery (Reid, &     Dennison, 2011). 

  The role of a     clinical nurse leader is to find ways to improve quality patient     care, by examining outcomes, risk, along with changing care plans if     needed, and advocating for fellow nurses (Register Nursing, n.d.).     The clinical nurse leader influences direct patient care by serves     that promote shorter hospital stays, lower readmission rates, lower     infection rates, fewer falls, less injuries, and even lower nurse     turn-over (Register Nurse, n.d.). The clinical nurse leader also     achieves lower healthcare cost to the institution with these     changes, and ensures cost effective care while addressing barriers     to efficiency (Register Nursing, n.d.). 

The clinical     nurse leader can influence patient care both in the hospital and the     community, by a subculture of care with leadership, team-work,     evidence-based care, communication, justice, and     patient-centeredness (Reid & Dennison, 2011). One example of a     clinical nurse leader might be ensuring clients, families and     communities are informed about their health while advocating for     nursing staff. The clinical nurse leader routinely monitor and     intervene based on the units vital signs, or information about the     units aggregate safety and quality functioning, are also examples of     what role a clinical nurse leader might perform daily (Reid &     Dennison, 2011).
