- CSNs have not been involved in identifying or defining their own leadership competencies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare existing leadership competencies for CSNs.
- To identify and highlight gaps in the development and validation of CSN leadership role competencies.
Main Methods:
- A literature review was conducted.
Main Results:
- CSNs have not participated in the development of their leadership competencies.
- Existing CSN leadership competencies lack scientific validation and are incomplete.
- Current competencies do not reflect the CSN perspective.
Conclusions:
- There is a significant need for a validated, CSN-informed framework for clinical staff nurse leadership competencies.
- Future development must involve CSNs to ensure relevance and completeness.
