Nursing is a dynamic, challenging, rewarding profession. It is important that we take opportunities to tell the world and each other about the richness of caring, which is the essence of our practice. Clinical exemplars are a way to capture this true nature of nursing. It is through sharing of clinical exemplars that we celebrate our own practice and share our uniqueness with others. This article defines clinical exemplars, describes their importance to nursing practice, and discusses their benefit to identify skill acquisition and recognition in nursing.
