The CNO (chief nurse officer) has noticed the organization?s variety of nursing staff?s education levels and competence. The CNO has decided to implement a program that focuses on retention of nursing staff regardless of their level of education
The CNO is implementing a: 1. Promotional incentive program.
2. Clinical ladder program.
3. Mentoring program.
4. Protégé program.
2
Explanation: 1. A clinical ladder program recognizes the nurse?s clinical expertise without promotion to a
management position. A promotional incentive program does not define the program.
Incentives are usually a short-term solution to a problem. Mentoring and protégé programs
focus on retaining graduate nurses.
