Nursing professional development is the lifelong
process of active participation by nurses in learning
activities that assist in developing and maintaining
their continuing competence, enhance their professional
practice, and support achievement of their career
goals. Continuing competence is a hallmark of professionalism
and a means by which a profession is held accountable
to society. Nursing professional development builds
on the educational and experiential bases of nurses
across their professional careers for the ultimate
goal of ensuring the quality of health care to
the public.” (ANA Scope and Standards of
Practice for Nursing Professional Development,
2000.) At SBHCS, The
Nursing Center for Professional Development provides
the professional nurse not only with guidance,
but with a centralized resource of learning opportunities
to assist in their development and enhancement
of professional practice, as well as career goal
achievement. The Center offers the opportunity
to discover and learn about Continuing/In-service
Education programming, Nursing Research, Professional
Advancement programming, Orientation and Precepting,
Academic Education, and three Nurse Academies,
with programming specifically designed for the
Nurse Manager, Nurse Leaders, and Nurse Educators.
