Abstract

In recognition of the emerging role of the multisite nursing professional development (NPD) leader, the Association for Nursing Professional Development commissioned a study to obtain consensus around the competencies needed by individuals in this position. Electronic Delphi surveys with NPD practitioners who have responsibility for multiple sites identified competencies related to executive nursing, business acumen, organizational alignment, communication and relationship building, and NPD practice.
