Abstract
Centralization of clinical nurse educators (CNEs) from medical-surgical and critical care in a rural Midwestern hospital created role confusion and poor role outcomes. An evidence-based quality improvement project was developed to integrate the Association of Nursing Professional Development's transition to practice fellowship and practice model. Outcomes were focused on CNE self-assessed competency and three nurse-sensitive quality outcomes. Results were mixed but support that CNEs influenced patient quality outcomes and improved their self-assessed competency.
