Professional development framework. Pathway to the future
J Nurs Staff Dev.
1990 Nov-Dec.
Abstract
Staff development educators in a large midwestern university hospital developed a framework for professional development. The framework, applicable to all nurses, has four levels of professional development, from professional awareness to professional mastery. Within each developmental level five dimensions of nursing practice are identified: nursing process and practice skills, communication/collaboration, leadership, professional integration, and research/evaluation. This framework for professional development is reported and its potential use in the areas of planning, development and evaluation of staff development programs; restructure of a clinical ladder for nurses; and individual career development is discussed.
