Identifying the Underlying Educational Needs That Contribute to the Professional Practice Gap.
Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|January 31, 2018
Summary
Nursing professional development practitioners can meet accreditation standards by focusing on educational design processes. This ensures alignment with professional practice guidelines for quality continuing education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Professional Development
- Continuing Nursing Education
- Healthcare Accreditation
Background:
- Meeting educational design process criteria is crucial for accreditation.
- The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Primary Accreditation has specific requirements.
- The Association for Nursing Professional Development (ANPD) provides practice standards.
Purpose of the Study:
- To guide nursing professional development practitioners and nurse planners.
- To explain how to meet Criterion 2 of the ANCC Primary Accreditation educational design process.
- To ensure alignment with the ANPD's Scope and Standards of Practice.
Main Methods:
- Review of ANCC accreditation criteria.
- Analysis of ANPD Scope and Standards of Practice.
- Discussion of practical application for nurse planners.
Main Results:
- Criterion 2 focuses on systematic educational design.
- Alignment with ANPD standards enhances educational quality.
- Practical strategies can be implemented to meet the criterion.
Conclusions:
- Nursing professional development practitioners can successfully meet ANCC Criterion 2.
- Adherence to ANPD standards supports robust educational design.
- Effective planning ensures compliance and quality continuing nursing education.

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

57.4K
Multicellular organisms employ a variety of ways for cells to communicate with each other. Gap junctions are specialized proteins that form pores between neighboring cells in animals, connecting the cytoplasm between the two, and allowing for the exchange of molecules and ions. They are found in a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate species, mediate numerous functions including cell differentiation and development, and are associated with numerous human diseases, including cardiac and...

01:27Gap Junctions
9.8K
The cytoplasm of adjacent animal cells can exchange small molecules, ions, and secondary messengers via the communication channels which form the gap junctions. These junctions comprise a few hundred to thousands of molecular channels, each made of two halves, called the connexon hemichannel. A connexon is a hexamer of six transmembrane connexin proteins, which assemble radially, thus forming a pore or channel in the center. One connexon hemichannel docks with a corresponding connexon on the...

1.8K
Alfred Binet, along with his student Théophile Simon, was tasked by the French Ministry of Education in 1904 to create a method for identifying students who struggled to learn through conventional classroom instruction. This initiative aimed to address overcrowding by placing such students in specialized schools. Binet and Simon developed an intelligence test comprising 30 tasks, ranging from simple commands, like touching one's nose or ear, to more complex tasks, such as drawing...

2.2K
David Wechsler, a psychologist who worked with World War I veterans, developed a significant IQ test in 1939 called the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale. This test was innovative because it combined several subtests that measured both verbal and nonverbal skills, reflecting Wechsler's belief that intelligence is a global capacity involving purposeful action, rational thinking, and effective interaction with the environment. This test later evolved into the Wechsler Adult Intelligence...
