The vision of the Clinical Nurse Leader Association is to improve patient outcomes through a focus on safety and quality outcomes and the implementation of evidence based practice at the point of care.
The board welcomes Dr. Brianna Salinas as secretary who serves as the Associate Director of Magnet at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where she provides strategic leadership to advance nursing excellence and professional practice. Brianna Salinas, MSN, RN, CNL recently completed her doctoral dissertation examining Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) practice development beyond the transition-to-practice period. Guided by Benner’s Novice-to-Expert Model and Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory, her research explored the relationships among years of experience, self-efficacy, and perceived proficiency in practicing CNLs. Her work contributes new empirical evidence supporting CNL practice development as an ongoing, multidimensional process and provides a foundation for future research aimed at strengthening CNL education, practice, and workforce development.
