Clinical Advancement Program

The Clinical Advancement Program (CAP) is designed to reward nurses' increasing levels of clinical expertise and commitment to patient care. The implementation and maintenance of such a program enhances the Lourdes Health System's ability to recruit and retain professional nurses who, in turn, contribute to the achievement of quality patient outcomes.

Participating nurses seek to improve through five levels of excellence that are based on minimum years of experience; advanced degrees and specialty certifications; and points attained through certain activities. Those activities include: service as a population-specific resource; educator in special areas (mock codes, fire drills, etc.); committee participation; service as a preceptor, mentor or adjunct faculty; recognition from local or national nursing organization; community service/volunteerism; participator or initiator nursing research; and author of an article published in a journal.

To learn more about the program review the CAP Program Outline [MS Word, 737K]. To apply, download and complete the remaining documents. Contact information and deadlines are contained within the documents.
