The following are trigger points for you to consider when developing your narratives according to the three areas of evidence. Use Appendix A2’s listing of accomplishments as guides that represent the level of achievement. Not all accomplishments are required but the application for clinical assistant and associate rank must demonstrate a sustained record of excellence and for professor there must be national recognition and outstanding achievements.</p>

<p style="max-width:70em !important;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Scholarly Activity</span> is not limited to clinical achievements but reflects the applicant’s contributions to the profession. Nursing scholarship is defined by the AACN as “the generation, synthesis, translation, application, and dissemination of knowledge that aims to improve health and transform health care” (AACN 2018). Practice scholarship is defined (AACN, 2018) as scholarship that “…interprets, draws together, and brings new insight to original scholarship. The practice scholar applies evidence to practice, incorporating implementation and translation science.”</p>
