Collegial model for clinical nurse specialists: theoretical perspective.
Organizationally based CNSs function in a wide variety of management structures. A review of the literature suggests that the steady-state career orientation typifies CNSs and is therefore compatible with the application of self-management strategies. With this in mind the Long Beach Memorial Medical Center Collegial Model for Clinical Nurse Specialists was developed and components were defined as a self-governing strategy for CNSs within a complex tertiary medical center.
