A competency-based orientation program for the clinical nurse specialist
Abstract:
A factor affecting role development of the clinical nurse specialist (CNS) is the orientation process. Unless nursing service provides the structure for enhancing role development, frustration, nonacceptance, and even early termination of a qualified clinical nurse specialist may result. An orientation program provides the mechanism to guide the CNS through the introduction phase of the CNS role in the institution. Without such a program, the CNS may not acquire the fundamental understanding of the nursing department's service and educational philosophy.
