Abstract
Background
Professional development is an expectation for nurses and is part of lifelong learning. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing's Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education identify professional development as a core competency for nursing students.
Problem
At an urban pre-licensure nursing program, most students reported meeting with their academic advisor once a year or less and did not receive professional development opportunities from their advisor.
Approach
A centralized Professional Nursing Advisor role was created to provide access to professional development opportunities for nursing students in a sustainable, consistent approach.
Outcomes
Outcomes included a centralized approach to communicate with students regarding professional development and more consistent professional development offerings. Lessons learned include the need to educate all stakeholders regarding the new advising role.
Conclusions
The Professional Nursing Advisor role can be effective in providing consistent professional development opportunities to nursing students. Next steps include further alignment to professional competencies.
