Clinical Nurse Experts will provide the necessary guidance, coaching, education and expertise to nursing staff with the UK HealthCare Enterprise. Clinical expertise will flow from Acute Care through Progressive Care and/or Critical Care. Focus is on these specific areas so that there will be better recognition and response to patient care issues, improved quality of care and opportunity for development of critical thinking skills and global perspective with the novice or inexperienced nurse.
Clinical Nurse Experts have increased responsibility for coaching, mentoring and assisting nurses with problem solving, critical thinking, and early intervention of patient decline as well as mobilization of needed resources.
