The Clinical Ladders program at Jewish Hospital is designed to recognize
and reward staff nurses for their achievement of clinical excellence.
Each level in the ladder is built upon successful completion of the competency
statements of the previous level. To verify that the nurse has the potential
to be successful at the new level, other requirements include clinical
experience, recognition of clinical achievement from internal or external
groups, education, and/or teaching of other nurses. All of these requirements
are in addition to clinical competence.
The program is managed by the Clinical Ladder Board, which is comprised
of staff nurses throughout the hospital, and the Professional Recognition
and Advancement Council. Level III and Level IV nurses who accomplish
quarterly unit-based goals are recognized with a monetary bonus.
