Panel Interviews

Purpose and Background. The purpose of this article is to describe how clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) in one organization developed a structured interviewing process for CNS candidates. The process has evolved in relation to implementation of national CNS competencies, growth of the role in the organization, and changes to reporting structure. Outcomes. The CNS interview process includes panel interviews with various organizational leaders, CNSs, and team members. A behavioral-based tool relevant to the CNS role is used. Involving CNS peers in the interview ensures the successful hiring and retaining of suitable candidates. Clinical nurse specialists who were interviewed using the current peer interview procedure have reported satisfaction with the experience. Implications. Peer interviews for CNSs provide a forum for meaningful dialogue about the CNS role, competencies, and fit with the organization. This process can be used for other advanced practice disciplines.

Magnet Recognition

Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) work with and through other nurses as well as interprofessional team members to advance nursing practice, improve outcomes, and provide clinical expertise to effect system-wide changes to improve programs of care. They practice across the continuum and through 3 spheres of influence, encompassing the patient, nurse, and system. Clinical nurse specialists possess expertise in developing and refining structures, strategies, and processes to optimize outcomes at both the unit (micro) level and the organization or system (macro) level. This unique vantage point positions CNSs as ideal individuals to assume several key roles when a health care organization makes the decision to embark on the Magnet journey and to maintain Magnet recognition. The competence and competencies of CNSs and a health care organization’s desire to achieve and/or maintain Magnet recognition represent a synergistic match.
