This is a description of the development of a clinical practice model at St. Luke's Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin using Banner's novice-to-expert theory. The editor explains how the model was initiated and extended to a regional Aurora Health Care System approach for both nursing practice and nursing research. The purpose is to describe the organizational journey in the implementation of a staff nurse peer review and advancement model based on a novice-to-expert framework that is grounded in narrative methodology. This is a worthy objective and it is met admirably, The editor does not indicate the anticipated audience for the book, but I believe it would be most helpful for nursing administrators who wish to implement a positive practice environment. It may also serve as a practical guide for staff nurses making the practice change. This is a very clearly written description of the development of a novice-to-expert nursing practice model that emphasizes clinical judgment, caring, and collaboration. Based upon Patricia Banner's theory, narratives of staff members are interpreted by a panel of peer experts to identify domains of practice and the characteristics of these domains. The model, and its extension to encompass a regional healthcare system for both clinical practice and clinical research, are detailed. Journal articles exist that describe this approach to nursing practice, but this is the first book-length treatment of this subject. Banners' philosophy for improving nursing practice in Chapter 2 is particularly eloquent. St. Luke's Medical Center changed from a career ladder approach to a narrative based novice-to-expert approach. In this book, the development ofthis change is described, beginning with the philosophical underpinnings explained particularly well by Patricia Banner, their consultant. The unique feature is the step-by-step approach to the project.

Several nursing experts join Haag-Heitman, a clinical nurse specialist at St. Luke's Medical Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin where the Clinical Practice Development Model evolved. The model incorporates a novice-to-expert approach which identifies how nurses develop skills and expertise, and how the work setting can acknowledge, reflect, and foster the central role of nurses in health care. The contributors explore the creation of the model and its implementation, with discussion of the peer review process, coaching, the experiences of staff nurses and of managers, performance improvement activities, and the role of the chief nurse executive.
