Nurse practitioner (NP) involvement in professional organizations improves clinical practice, patient outcomes, and health care policy. Results of a survey for a local professional nursing organization showed a need for more NP-level education and NP mentorship and leadership training. Findings were applied to develop a leadership initiative through an NP-led continuing education program. At the conclusion of the program, NP presenters completed a survey. The NP presenters agreed that participating in this program and the mentoring that was provided helped them prepare for their sessions, improve their leadership skills, and prepare for additional speaking engagements. Additionally, each session's attendees completed evaluation surveys. Results from program attendees indicated a high level of agreement about meeting learning objectives in sessions and the effectiveness of the NP presenters. This innovative program may be modeled across a variety of nursing specialties, settings, and organizations to enhance NP professional development and support nursing-led continuing education. .
执业护士（NP）参与专业组织可以改善临床实践、患者预后和医疗保健政策。对当地专业护理组织的一项调查结果表明，需要更多的 NP 层面的教育以及 NP 指导和领导力培训。这些发现被应用于通过 NP 主导的继续教育计划来制定领导力计划。在该计划结束时，NP 演讲者完成了一项调查。NP 演讲者一致认为，参加这个计划和获得的指导帮助他们为自己的课程做准备，提高他们的领导能力，并为更多的演讲活动做准备。此外，每个课程的参与者都完成了评估调查。从课程参与者那里获得的结果表明，他们在课程中达成学习目标以及 NP 演讲者的有效性方面高度一致。这个创新计划可以在各种护理专业、环境和组织中进行模式化，以增强 NP 的专业发展并支持护理主导的继续教育。
