The Clinical Education Matrix is a well-established resource for quickly navigating accreditation standards, regulatory requirements, and competency expectations. The resource was developed and is maintained by fellow NPD practitioners to reflect the real-world challenges we face in our roles. It saves time and improves efficiency, and also provides confidence that educational and competency initiatives are aligned with current expectations, giving NPD practitioners more time to focus on supporting learners and improving patient outcomes.

For nurses struggling with a substance use disorder, there are unique pressures of fear, shame, and the potential loss of their career that make asking for and getting help a challenge. Organizations like the Nurses Peer Safety Network offer support from peers who understand the struggle and are available to help.

ANPD’s Queen City affiliate was built by nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners doing what they do best: identifying a need and then working together to fill it. The collaboration has become a tight-knit community for learning, innovation, mentorship, and professional growth.
