Committee Membership

Nurse Practitioner Selection Committee vacancies are to be publicized and applicants will be nominated by their peers. Committee members will serve a term of three years (as possible for continuity of process). The Nurse Practitioner Selection Committee will be responsible for choosing replacement members from nominees by consensus. All decisions will be reviewed by the Chair who is charged with ensuring broad-based representation over time.

The Nurse Practitioner Selection Committee will have a minimum of five members as detailed below:

  1. The Chief of Advanced Practice to serve as Chair.

  2. Two Nurse Practitioner III elected by the Nurse Practitioner III Selection Committee, will serve as a member. There will be attention to ensuring representation from ambulatory and in patient Nurse Provider roles.
  3. One (1) volunteer Nurse Practitioner II elected by the Nurse Practitioner III Selection Committee with 5 years or greater experience
  4. One Nurse Practitioner elected from advanced practice council. Nurse Practitioner Selection Committee members will be expected to recuse themselves if:

    1. There is a direct line relationship between the applicant and committee member; or
    2. If a Nurse Practitioner II serving on the committee is undergoing review of her/his application for Nurse Practitioner III classification.

In the event the committee has limited knowledge of the applicant’s specialty area, the Nurse Practitioner Selection Committee may call in a content expert for their opinion. This person is not a voting member.

In the event the committee has a split decision regarding the applicant, the Committee Chair will have the authority to make the final decision.

Committee Responsibilities

The Nurse Practitioner Selection Committee will be responsible for reviewing both application AND renewal packets at each meeting. Initial applications and renewal packets will be redacted of the applicant’s name and identified by a number.

If the application is accepted, the candidate will be invited to participate in a 45-minute formal interview conducted by the Nurse Practitioner III Selection Committee or qualified candidates in person. Applicants will be notified of the Nurse Practitioner Selection Committee’s decision within thirty (30) business days following the completion of interviews for all candidates. Non-exempt members of the Nurse Practitioner Selection Committee will be compensated for their time at these meetings if on a non-work day or at manager request.
