The editor replied exactly as:
Thank you for submitting your paper to the Journal of Clinical Nursing. We appreciate the time and effort you dedicated to the design and submission of your article.
Unfortunately, after careful consideration and thorough review, we are unable to accept your manuscript for publication in our journal. We are sorry to disappoint you on this occasion, however, we think your paper could be a candidate for potential publication in Nursing Open, a peer-reviewed, open access journal providing rapid publication of high-quality research on all aspects of nursing and midwifery practice, research, education and policy.

...etc.
My points: 1. Review comments were favourable, thus I did not see any reason why to reject the MS.
2. A recommended journal Nursing Open require payments (2,000 USD) for publication. My opinion is that JCN makes their own business by rejecting papers and asking money from disappointed authors. Of course, I disagreed with this possibility and I do not recommend any submissions to this journal.
