The Clinical Nurse Leader Association (CNLA) has been created from an identified need to provide a national forum for Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNL) to support, collaborate and celebrate our unique and evolving role in all practice settings. Through the CNLA we will provide an opportunity to highlight the impact of the CNL on quality, safety, patient satisfaction and cost reduction. Decreasing the length of stay through lateral integration, meeting or exceeding reportable standards of practice and reducing non-refundable hospital acquired events are examples of how a CNL can add value to cost containment efforts and improved patient outcomes. Together, with a collective voice, we can establish the CNL with in the microsystem as the solution of choice to ultimately link evidence based practice to the point of care.

Our Mission:
The mission of the Clinical Nurse Leader Association is to provide a forum for members in all practice settings to collaborate, collect data, publish results, network, promote high standards of practice, maintain a professional presence and stay abreast of issues affecting their practice.

Our Vision:
The vision of the Clinical Nurse Leader Association is to improve patient outcomes through a focus on safety and quality outcomes and the implementation of evidence based practice at the point of care.


I would like to take the opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of our members through our web site and our newsletter. I encourage all members to send in brief descriptions of awards, accomplishments or case studies that you are particularly proud of (to info@cnlassociation.org. The first nurse that I would like to recognize is Kathy Faber. Kathy Faber MSN, RN, Clinical Nurse Leader was the recipient of the 2008 Aspiring Nurse Leader Award by the Organization of Nurse Executives of New Jersey (ONE/NJ) for her initiative on the Discharge Process of the Neonate, in which the average lengths of stay have decreased by 2.18 days in 2008. In addition Kathy has been selected as the recipient of the Academy of Neonatal Nursing's 2009 Excellence in Neonatal Nursing Practice Award. Some of her initiatives include: The Maternal Child Division Thermoregulation Collaborative in which the admission temperatures of the extremely low birth weight infant (< 1000 grams) have improved by 41% from 2006-2009 reaching their goal of below the Vermont Oxford benchmark. The implementation of Plans of Care by Gestational Age, and development of a task force to review, standardize and develop Evidence-based Plans of Care for nursing practice in the NICU, Intermediate, and Regular nurseries. Improved patient and nursing satisfaction was achieved as a result of the Parents as Partners initiative in which Family Centered Care is the focus to establish ownership by the family, re-establishing their confidence, trust and commitment to the infant's care on their journey from our home to theirs.
