A Multihospital Exploration Into the Utilization of Nursing Professional Development Practitioners in the Clinical Environment
Nursing professional development practice is guided by the Association for Nursing Professional Development's Nursing Professional Development Scope and Standards of Practice, but practice varies with years of experience, practice setting, span of areas covered, and certification in nursing professional development. This study aims to explore practice in a multihospital system over 12 months utilizing the throughputs or responsibilities of the NPD Practice Model: collaborative partnerships, competency management, education, onboarding/orientation, inquiry (research/evidence-based practice/quality improvement), and role development.
