Abstract

Background. Nurses play an essential role in health services. According to the policy of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, number 40 of 2017, they have independent authority as professionals and develop professional careers. Many hospitals still have not implemented policies for developing professional career paths for clinical nurses. The implementation of the hospital's credentials and re-credentials is still not optimal. Even though nursing credentials are essential in improving quality, protecting patient safety, and maintaining standards of nursing care, the study aims to determine the acceptance of policy implementation on developing clinical nurses' professional career paths in implementing nursing credentials. The research method uses qualitative methods through a phenomenological approach. Data analysis with selective analysis and focusing techniques (the selective or highlighting approach). Results and Discussion: Credentials at Puskesmas must obtain clinical authority because of their primary duties as health workers. Hospital nurse credentials are required to obtain clinical authority based on the nursing career path. A good perception from nurses about the importance of career paths is a good starting capital to make changes and improve exercising authority. The credentialing process goes through 3 stages: competency assessment, clinical authority determination, and clinical assignment. The competency assessment of hospital nurses is under government policy, but the Puskesmas Nurses are carried out by the Puskesmas quality team and are not by the credentials. There are differences in the determination of the authority details between Puskesmas nurses and hospital nurses because they are based on the regulations used. Implementing the actions of clinical nurses not under clinical assignments will cause complaints from patients and patient safety incidents. Conclusion: The Hospital Nurse credentialing process is under the policy on Professional career path development of clinical nurses, but implementing their authority is still inappropriate. Meanwhile, the Puskesmas Nurse credential process is not under the development of career paths or the Jukni Credential
