Abstract

Abstract : This research was undertaken to delineate the future role of nursing professional development (NPD) specialists. Using a modified e-Delphi technique, seven key roles for NPD (partner for practice transitions, learning facilitator, change agent, mentor, leader, champion of scientific inquiry, and advocate for NPD specialty) and their concomitant competencies evolved. Results of this study informed the update of the NPD Scope and Standards of Practice and may be used to identify competencies for the specialty.
