Nursing Professional Development

Abstract

I n this issue, we present two approaches to validating competency of staff. The first describes a card on which skill validation can be tracked. This novel approach uses a business-sized form that can be carried in a nurse's badge holder. The second approach describes an information packet containing information that the nurse studies before attending a skills lab. In addition to saving staff time while in the skills lab, the information packet can be used as a unit resource.
