The Clinical Nurse Credentialing Pathway (CNCP) rewards and recognizes direct patient care RNs for their dedication to professional advancement. The goal of the program is to provide opportunities to further develop their clinical, education, leadership, and research skills, so they may function at their highest level of professionalism. Credentialing levels and compensation are based on nursing degree level, certification, and professional engagement. The CNCP is designed to facilitate growth, reward higher degree levels and certification, and recognize engagement by direct care nurses at all levels of experience.
The program aligns with Atrium Health’s Nursing goals to improve quality, efficiency, and patient outcomes by fostering a work environment where nursing professional development is encouraged and rewarded.

Center for Clinical Excellence
Our Center for Clinical Excellence (CCE) fosters a professional nursing environment that merges education, research and professional development into a clear pathway that encourages clinical excellence. Our collaborative approach to quality health care requires clinical professionals who can think critically and apply evidence in practice with competence and compassion in the acute care, outpatient and community setting.
Research
Our evidence-based care model follows standardized practice guidelines developed from clinical research. The CCE supports and assists in nurse-driven and collaborative research projects that aim to improve the quality and safety of patient-centered care.
Education
Continuing education is vital to clinical excellence. We support our nurses in this endeavor by helping them map their learning opportunities from the first day of hire throughout the nurse's career at Floyd. A standardized Core Clinical Orientation prepares the nurse for system-wide nursing care. Nurses then follow the learning plan to gain additional knowledge of their chosen specialty and to maintain required competencies and knowledge.
Our online Learning Management System gives nurses direct access to information on a diverse range of clinical topics.
Students and Instructors
Academic partnerships with schools of nursing, medicine, allied health sciences and local high schools create a culture of continuous learning that permeates every clinical environment. Floyd nurses are committed to the teaching-learning process and host over 1,000 students each year.
