title: A revised nephrology nurses' clinical ladder.
abstract: Recognition and compensation are two valuable tools for nurse satisfaction and retention. A clinical ladder program is one way that facilities can recognize and reward nurses. The ANNA Administration Special Interest Group has developed the Nephrology Nurses' Clinical Ladder as a framework to help guide facilities in developing clinical ladder programs to meet their needs. This document is meant to serve as a template, allowing individual nephrology programs to tailor the clinical ladder program to meet their specific organizational structure and needs, thus allowing for recognition of professional role development in all nephrology arenas.
