Regarding RN's whose Organizations have an RN Outpatient Clinical Ladder

  • 1.  Regarding RN's whose Organizations have an RN Outpatient Clinical Ladder

    Posted 11-13-2024 09:18

    Good Morning,

     

    I am an RN whose group (of outpatient RN's) were transferred into an organization without an outpatient RN Clinical Ladder.  We are excited to see 'what's out there,' so we can study and prepare a proposal for our newly-acquired organization (thankful they are asking what we would want to see in an RN Ladder, outpatient). 

     

    Would anyone whose organization has such a Ladder please give me some feedback?  Also, if you are willing to attach your Clinical Ladder information to send to me, that would be GREAT!!  Many Thanks!!

    We use the same clinical ladder process and documents as our inpatient areas. About 8 years ago, we made revisions so would be applicable across our enterprise.  This summer we made additional revisions to the ladder. Happy to discuss further if you would like.

    Patricia,

     

    Thanks!  Good to know.  I will keep your name and information 'on retainer.'  I've understood from one of the others who has written me back that she was unable to attach documents.  She did send them to me.  Again, I will keep this strategy in mind, and will check-in with you if we decide to go in this direction. 

     

    Many Thanks,

    We have one ladder program across inpatient, outpatient, and home health. It would probably be more helpful to show you our intranet website and resources than send attachments. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to meet and take a virtual tour of our clinical ladder program.

    Elizabeth!  Thank you so much... I appreciate this offer, and will put your name/offer 'on retainer' so perhaps a few of us can take a 'Virtual Tour' of what you have there.  Appreciate it!!

    We have one clinical ladder for all Registered Nurses in all sites of care.

    Each level (RN I - RN IV) has minimum FTE, performance, degree, clinical practice experience, certification, and leadership contribution requirements.  Intent to apply, application, review and promotions are on regular cycles and the review and approval goes through a centralized team.

    Happy to schedule a call to discuss in more detail if you would like.

    Erin,

     

    Hello! I have taken your information down, and will contact you at a later date, as we are just beginning to roll on this project.  By the way, as I look at the responses, I'm seeing a number of 'You' who are working with a 'Flex-Ladder,' one that can work for inpatient, outpatient RN's.  Interesting!  Bravo!!

    I am currently working on developing a clinical ladder for our outpatient clinics as well, would you anyone be willing to share documents related to this so we can compare and contrast. I am interested in years of experience, education, certifications required, etc. 

    Thank you.

    Dayna,

    We are also looking at revisions to our ladder for outpatient RNs. We are surveying RNs now about it. I'd appreciate being included in any resources you come across.
