Understanding Chief Nurse Executive (CNE) influence §is essential for the discipline of nursing. There §are approximately 5000 CNEs in the United States, §all tasked with being the primary identifiable §leader representing organizations in which they are §employed and the nursing profession of which they §are a part. In this capacity, the CNE is the §gatekeeper for the advancement of the majority of §the 2.4 million nurses practicing in the U.S. §Literature suggests that early CNEs lacked influence §and often were not recognized members of §organizational executive teams. Today, after two §decades of struggle, CNEs are identified as §essential executive team members. However, they §still self identify as being less influential than §their C-suite counterparts, raising the §question, Having gotten to the table, now what? §The Adams Influence Model (AIM) is a framework to §begin to answer this question and define expections §of the CNE role. These are the individuals leading §the profession and our healthcare system, at what §pace and in what direction cannot be left to chance.
