ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to determine the alignment between the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Magnet Recognition Program® standards and clinical nurse specialist (CNS) practice competencies.BACKGROUND:
Despite documentation of CNS contributions to achieving and sustaining Magnet Recognition®, there is a lack of evidence clearly aligning Magnet® standards and CNS practice competencies.METHODS:
Using a crosswalk method, an expert panel of CNSs and chief nursing executives analyzed alignment of the 50 Magnet standards with the 44 National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists core practice competencies.RESULTS:
CNS practice competencies are aligned closely with Magnet standards 86% of the 50 Magnet standards aligned with at least 1 CNS competency and 81.8% of CNS competencies aligned with at least 1 Magnet® standard.CONCLUSIONS:
The alignment between Magnet standards and CNS competencies supports evidence of CNS contributions to organizational achievement of Magnet Recognition and will assist nurse executives in identifying a full scope of opportunities for CNSs to contribute to nursing excellence.
