Happy Nursing Professional Development (NPD) Week! This special week is dedicated to celebrating the vital contributions of NPD practitioners who work tirelessly to advance the skills and knowledge of nurses everywhere. It’s a time to recognize the impact NPD has on healthcare, patient outcomes, and the professional growth of nursing staff. Visit the ANPD’s NPD Week website for great resources and information on how NPDs are celebrating this week.

I truly believe in, and have experienced, the generosity and support the NPD community shows its members. Whether it’s sharing best practices, offering mentorship, or simply sending an message to support and uplift fellow NPDs. NPD practitioners embody the spirit of collaboration and continuous improvement. This sense of camaraderie ensures that we’re not just improving individual skills but elevating the entire nursing profession as a whole.

During NPD Week, let’s take a moment to appreciate the dedication and expertise of those who keep our workforce engaged and ready to meet the challenges of modern healthcare. Their efforts to foster learning and development are at the heart of improving patient care. Thank you, NPD practitioners, PD associates, and all NPD professionals, for all that you do! Let’s continue to support and inspire one another as we grow together.
