Happy Nursing Professional Development (NPD) Week!!

Nursing Professional Development Practitioners make a positive impact every day. Our NPD colleagues work in many departments and provide our nurses with quality education throughout all stages of their careers, ensuring that our nurses and organization are recognized for quality, evidence-based practice, and patient safety. NPD practitioners are essential supporters of frontline workers.

Nursing professional development practitioners at Carilion provide programs such as:

• Orientation and transition to practice programs
• Competency assessment
• Nursing professional development contact hours
• Education on use of equipment, policies and procedures
• Coordination of student affiliations

Happy NPD week!!
