The Nursing Professional Development: Scope and Standards of Practice is a foundational document that describes the who, what, when, where, how and why of NPD practice.

This 13-module program provides the novice NPD practitioner with an overview of the roles and responsibilities of  the Nursing Professional Development Scope and Standards required for NPD practice.

The purpose of this program is to provide the bedside registered nurse with leadership knowledge required to function effectively in a frontline nurse leader (charge nurse) position.

This text is the first leadership text designed specifically for nursing professional development. It is designed for the NPD department leader and covers general leadership principles, legal/ethical considerations and operational components of departmental management such as human resources management and fiscal responsibility.

ANPD's Human Resources Toolkit for the NPD Practitioner is intended to guide development of position descriptions, competencies, and performance evaluations based on Nursing Professional Development: Scope and Standards of Practice, 3rd Edition.

ANPD's Human Resources Toolkit for the Professional Development Associate is intended to provide guidance for using assistive personal in professional development departments. ANPD defines a professional development associate as an individual who contributes to the overall functioning of a continuing education/professional development department in a substantive way. The professional development associate plays a key role in supporting the work of nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners.
