Patient Care Services: Our Annual Report
CHKD's Clinical Advancement Program for Inpatient Nurses
Based on Benner’s “novice to expert” model and our CHKD professional practice model of relationship-based care, our Clinical Advancement Program (CAP) uniquely allows the nurse caregiver to grow and advance their career by demonstrating behaviors of excellence through the model’s six domains: leadership, care delivery, resources, outcomes, professional practice and team work.
With the guidance of a mentor, CAP applicants present their achievements in a portfolio for peer review, with the opportunity to receive a bonus for advancement to each new clinical level, as well as an annual reward for maintenance of their advancement.
CAP applications are reviewed twice annually, in November and May. Applicants must renew annually to maintain the status of their clinical level.
