Interview question three asked the participants to identify barriers and facilitators
the CNL encountered while implementing their role as a CNL. The CNLs felt that
barriers where more significant in implementation of their role than facilitators
championing the role. Specifically issues related to buy-in from upper management was
99
identified as a barrier by all participants. Many felt that lack of buy-in was associated
with a lack of understand related to what the role could bring to the facility. The literature
suggests that upper management is reluctant to utilize the CNL in roles possibly due to
confusion with the Clinical Nurse Specialist role and/or the fact that most states do not
identify the CNL as an advanced practice role. Additionally Moore and Leahy (2012)
suggest that the lack of utilization of the CNL might be related to increased cost, and
limited proof that the CNL impacts outcomes.
Theme Five: Lack of Positions
Participants were asked what expectations they had for the role of the CNL. The
participants relayed stories about attempts to make changes and improve quality of care
within organizations. However, the participants further explained this had not been the
case with their roles. These stories further indicated that when CNLs tried to make
changes and improve quality of care, they were not able to promote these changes due to
lack of understanding from management and lack of positions slotted for the CNL. CNLs
indicated that they believe management uses their education within roles they already
have or moved them into a form of management. Participants related a lack of positions
as a main theme for this question. Without positions for the CNL, the CNL as a whole is
not impacting the changes that their role was created for. Also it will be difficult to
demonstrate the potential impact of the CNL if positions are not available. Participant A
shared that the only positions she was able to find for a CNL were at the Veterans
Administration (VA).
In 2004, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center’s (VAMC) piloted the CNL at 50
different centers (Stanley et al., 2008). The VA remains one of the largest employers of
100
CNLs. Tornabeni and Miller (2008) relate that the CNL is underutilized due to a general
misunderstanding of the role, and the outcomes that can be expected of the role.
Theme Six: Impact on the Future of Healthcare
The final question asked CNL participants to share their perception of the future
of the CNL. Participants shared their hope that facilities would see the value of the CNL
role. Participants believed that the future of healthcare could be impacted positively with
further implementation of the role of the CNL. The literature shows the CNL role was
seen as promising for nursing leadership at the point of care, and as an opportunity to
create changes in the national health care system (Ott et al., 2009). The graduate level
CNL curriculum educates and prepares the CNL to understand how to provide care and
work toward quality improvement (Porter-O’Grady et al., 2010). Additionally, the CNL
graduate has developed competencies in system thinking, quality improvement in the
micro and mesosystem levels, risk analysis, evidence based practice, and lateral
integration of care.
While the six themes indicate that the role of the CNL is understood by the
individual CNL, the advancement of the CNL in healthcare is still lacking. Each of the
CNLs perceptions of the CNL role clearly aligned with the role described by the AACN
white paper by describing their perception of being an advanced generalist and the role of
the CNL as an educator. CNL participants further explained that their best and worst days
where driven by outcomes. Outcomes align with the purpose of the CNL as described by
the AACN. Specifically the AACN (2007) explained that the CNL would collect and
evaluate care outcomes, along with monitoring changes in plans of care and risk involved
in changes.

While describing the CNL role in terms consistent with the literature, the
participants described challenges related to establishing the role of the CNL within their
current organizations. CNL participants cited barriers related to lack of buy in from upper
management, lack of understanding in the role, and role confusion. The researcher noted
frustration in the voices of the participants as they described these difficulties. The final
area identified by the CNLs related to the future of healthcare. Even with the challenges
described in previous comments the CNLs expressed hope for the future of the CNL if
further more widely implemented. The original purpose of this study was to understand
the lived experiences of the CNL in their current positions. Through analysis of the lived
experiences expressed by the CNL participants six themes emerged related to the CNL
role, barriers, and potential that CNLs expressed related to their lived experiences as a
