In the episode titled “The Intersection of Technology and NPD,” guests Allison Turner, RN, BSN, CCRC, NPD-BC, winner of the ANPD Aspire Convention people’s choice poster presentation and myself, dive into the challenges and rewards of technology in our workplaces with hosts Stephanie Zidek, PhD, RN, AGCNS-BC, NEA-BC, NPD-BC, and Naomi Fox, DNP, RN, NPD-BC, CCRN.

This was my first podcast appearance, and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with hosts Stephanie, Naomi, and co-guest Allison. We discussed the evolving role of artificial intelligence in the workplace, offering insights into how technology is reshaping NPD while also addressing the practical concerns of implementing new technology. The conversation emphasized the importance of thoughtful application and highlighted how AI can enhance, rather than replace, the human touch in professional development.
