The Nursing Education and Professional Development Council was formed to address a gap identified by NCNA members in the areas of nursing education and professional development. The council supports both academic nursing educators and nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners.
The ongoing nursing shortage, projected to worsen in the coming years, creates significant challenges. Faculty must graduate safe and competent nurses to fill the gap at the bedside, while NPD practitioners manage the effects of fewer nurses and the increasing educational needs of the workforce.
By working together, nursing faculty and NPD practitioners can better address these pressures. This council provides a forum for collaboration, allowing academicians and NPD practitioners to learn more about each other’s roles, share innovative solutions to challenges in academia and healthcare systems, and strengthen efforts to prepare nurses—both new graduates and advanced practice nurses—for success at the bedside.
