Many of the affiliates within Barnabas Health have an established Clinical Ladder Program. The entrance and progression
through the clinical ladder advocates for the growth and development
of the professional nurse through independent practice to leadership
roles and offers upward mobility to those who choose to participate.
Questions regarding Clinical Ladder can be referred to the affiliate's
Human Resources department.
As a nursing professional, there are a number of nursing organizations
in which you can become involved. These organizations set the standards
for the practice of nursing, as well as allowing nurses from different
areas to come together to problem solve, improve patient care, and effect
change for nurses in their specialty. In many cases, there are national
organizations that oversee the activities of local chapters of that
organization. Some professional organizations are geared toward general
nursing practice, some to nursing management or nursing education, and
others are very nursing specialty specific. You would choose to join
a professional organization depending on what your goal for belonging
to the organization is. For more information, visit the website:

Professional certification is an achievement (certification) earned
by successfully completing the education/skills/examination requirements
as set by an outside professional organization. For more information

National Nurses Week, May 6-12 coincides with Florence Nightingale’s
birthday on May 12th. The history of Nurses’ Week began in 1953
when Dorothy Sutherland of the US Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare sent the proposal to President Eisenhower. In 1974, President
Nixon proclaimed a National Nurse Week.
