Kaiser Permanente confirms its commitment
to excellence in nursing by offering career opportunities
of Staff Nurse III (SN III), Staff Nurse IV (SN IV), and Home
Health/Hospice Nurse III (HH/H III). The Staff Nurse

and career advancement opportunities for those nurses who
have excelled in clinical practice, leadership and professionalism.
The development of a NP Clinical Ladder
recognizes the Nurse Practitioner III as a health care clinical
expert who demonstrates increasing levels of excellence through
clinical practice, teaching ability, and leadership.
The purpose of the NP III role is to encourage nurse practitioners
to utilize and model clinical expertise, leadership abilities,
and health care practices by participation in research, education,
publication, and/or community involvement.
