The American Association of Clinical-Care Nurses (AACN) launched the Clinical Scene Investigator (CSI) Academy’s Nursing Workforce Solutions program this week.
The program aims to empower “direct care nurses with the tools and leadership skills to promote a healthy work environment, strengthen nurse retention, and improve nurse satisfaction.” It will feature “AACN’s Healthy Work Environment standards and AACN Clinical Scene Investigator (CSI) Academy, a proven hospital-based direct-care nurse leadership, innovation and experiential implementation science-based program. There will be six geographic cohorts, each consisting of 10 teams, for a total of 60 teams from 25 hospitals. AACN will provide the program at no cost to these hospitals, thanks to a sponsorship from Johnson & Johnson.”
CSI Academy’s program “builds additional skills for direct care nurses and leverages their expertise, preparing and supporting them as clinician leaders who effect positive changes that improve patient, nurse and hospital outcomes. Nationwide, more than 816 nurses at 141 hospitals have completed CSI Academy since its launch in 2012.”
