“…As partners for practice transitions, NPD practitioners are responsible for the role development of preceptors (Harper & Maloney, 2016). This secondary data analysis shows that preceptor training impacts perceptions of the importance of preceptor roles far more than education and experience.…”

Findings from the 2020 Association for Nursing Professional Development National Preceptor Practice Analysis study validated the Ulrich precepting model. This secondary data analysis examines the influence of preceptor training, experience, and education on perceptions of the importance of the preceptor roles, domains (knowledge and practice), and required competencies. Preceptor training compared with education and experience best predict nurses' perceived importance of precepting and its seven roles. This article is the second in a series reporting findings from the 2020 Association for Nursing Professional Development (ANPD) National Preceptor Practice Analysis study (Harper et al., 2021). The study validated the seven preceptor roles identified in the Ulrich (2012) precepting model-teacher/coach, role model, leader/ influencer, facilitator, socialization agent, evaluator, and protector-along with their associated domains of knowledge and practice and related competencies. The purpose of this second analysis was to examine further the influence of preceptor training, experience, and education on nurse preceptors' perceptions of the importance of the seven roles.

“…The Essentials recognize specialty competencies as one component of graduate education, which prepares graduates for advanced nursing practice specialty competencies. The advanced nursing practice specialty competencies are delineated as additional competencies for the graduate-prepared, certified NPD specialist in Nursing Professional Development: Scope and Standards of Practice (Harper & Maloney, 2016, 2022). Spirited discussions centered around the differentiation of the NPD-BC and NPDA-BC certifications.…”

“…NPD-BC certification is obtained by passing an examination that assesses “entry-level clinical knowledge and skills of registered nurses in the nursing professional development specialty” (ANCC, n.d.). An NPD specialist is identified in the scope and standards as an NPD practitioner who holds a master’s degree or higher and is certified in NPD (NPD-BC; Harper & Maloney, 2016, 2022). Conversely, advanced certification in NPD demonstrates application of NPD specialist competencies as delineated in the NPD scope and standards.…”

“…One team leader researched and presented different methods used to show competence in portfolios such as exemplars, presentations, publications, and so forth. After several brainstorming meetings, the Portfolio Content Workgroup decided to ensure alignment with the NPD scope and standards (Harper & Maloney, 2016). The workgroup recommended that applicants address the six responsibilities (throughputs) from the NPD practice model, writing a narrative about how they demonstrated NPD specialist practice in onboarding/orientation, competency management, education, role development, collaborative partnerships, and inquiry.…”

“…Early discussions began with charter members of the former National Nursing Staff Development Organization, which is now the Association for Nursing Professional Development (ANPD), the specialty organization for NPD. The conversation about advanced certification intensified when the Nursing Professional Development: Scope and Standards of Practice, 3rd edition (Harper & Maloney, 2016) identified two levels of competencies for each standard: those required of every nurse who practiced NPD and those required of the graduate-prepared NPD specialist. These two levels align with the American Nurses Association guidelines for acknowledgment of specialty practice standards (American Nurses Association, 2017).…”

Maintaining competence is a professional responsibility for nurses. Individual nurses are accountable for their practice, as outlined in the American Nurses Association's Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice. Nurses across clinical settings face the sometimes daunting challenge of staying abreast of regulatory mandates, practice changes, equipment updates, and other workplace expectations. In the complex, evolving perioperative setting, professional development is a priority, and the need for ongoing education is critical. However, nurses' efforts to engage in their own development can be hampered by a lack of time, limited access to educational resources, or cost concerns. This article provides an overview of nursing professional development and offers some resources to help individual nurses maintain or enhance their knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
