Nursing Professional Development, Practice and Research
Welcome to the home page for the Division of Nursing Professional Development, Practice and Research at University of North Carolina Hospitals! The programs offered by Nursing Professional Development, Practice and Research play a vital role in assisting the new nurse employee transitioning to the work environment as well as offering a wide variety of learning opportunities to meet the needs of the seasoned nurse.
Continuing Education Programs are offered at The William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education throughout the year. Residency Programs focus on successful transition of the new graduate RN to the clinical units. Nursing Grand Rounds provide staff nurses the opportunity to polish their presentation skills and Professional Development classes focus on resume writing and portfolio building. In addition, Preceptor Development and Charge Nurse classes enhance the skills of those nurses assuming new roles within their units.
The Nursing Research Council offers staff the opportunity to get involved in nursing research. Members of the Nursing Professional Development, Practice, and Research team work closely with clinical practice groups and the hospital Policy Committee to ensure ongoing evidence-based clinical practice through meticulous review of nursing policies and all associated procedures and protocols.
In short, there are a many educational offerings
supported by Nursing Professional Development, Practice and Research
for nurses within UNC Hospitals. We invite you to spend some time
getting to know our team and the wide variety of resources that we have
within our group. We look forward to working with you in the near
future.
Sincerely,
