Thank you all for a great conference!

Thank you everyone who attended our annual conference. We had a great turnout and some wonderful door prizes and an overall amazing day of learning. Congratulations to Jessica who took home the beautiful quilt made by Annette Welch. Thanks again for all your help Annette! 

Roxanne talked about the new Scope and Standards of Practice, 3rd ed. If you did not win a book you can order one from ANPD.

Katie Baraki, a Huntsman Cancer Hospital nurse educator, spoke to us about classroom management. She talked about a book called McKeachie's Teaching Tips, by Wilbert McKeachie and Marilla Svinicki. Thank you Katie!

We also learned some great tips about presenting from Janelle Anderson and Jody Houghton. Thank you so much Janelle and Jody! We are so excited to fix the color in our presentations!

ANPD 2016 Annual Conference



Here are a few topics and speakers at this year's conference:

Challenge of Integrating Into the Professional Nurse Practice Role
Marlene Kramer, PhD, MSN, RN, FAAN
This presentation focuses on challenges faced by NPD specialists in their role of integrating new Clinical Nurses into the Professional Nurse Practice role. Due to constant changes in patient and system complexity, analysis and responses to these challenges must be frequently up-dated.


Know the Mind, Know the Learner: Applying Brain Science to Improve Training
Art Kohn, PhD
We work hard to create great training, and we are disappointed when our employees fail to learn. We may be tempted to blame our students, but the truth is that we often fail because we don’t understand the mind of the learner. As a result, we develop training that is not consistent with the brain’s natural means of acquisition. Teaching should be more effective, and it can be more effective, once we understand how the learner’s mind operates. Dr. Kohn's 20 years of experience will help you create training that will effectively engage the brain and maximize learning and recall.


Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall: The Art of Engagement Begins With...You!
Veda Andrus, EdD, MSN, RN, HN-BC

Providing high-level professional development mentorship and coaching to nurses is essential to the development of a high-performance workforce. Through mindful self-reflection and self-awareness, we will use innovative stress management practices and self-care techniques to enhance nurse resiliency and support engagement and vitality in nursing practice.

The Current State of EBP in Nurses Who Are ANPD Members: Where Are We? Where Do We Go from Here?
Lynn Gallagher-Ford, PhD, RN, DPFNAP, NE-BC; Mary G. Harper, PhD, RN-BC; Joan I. Warren, PhD, RN-BC, NEA-BC, FAAN; Michelle R. Troseth, MSN, RN, DPNAP, FAAN
This presentation reveals the results of the study; “Evidence-based Practice and U.S. Healthcare Outcomes: Findings from a National Survey with Nursing Professional Development Specialists,” conducted by ANPD in collaboration with the Center for Transdisciplinary Evidence-based Practice (CTEP) and Elsevier Clinical Solutions. This study describes the EBP beliefs, EBP implementation, and perceived organizational culture of EBP, specifically in nursing professional development specialists, and determines relationships among these variables and a variety of critical healthcare outcomes. 


Nursing Professional Development 2016: Scope and Standards of Practice Update
Mary Harper, PhD, RN-BC; Patsy Maloney, EdD, RN-BC, CEN, NEA-BC
For the past year, a workgroup of nursing professional development (NPD) experts have been reviewing and revising the NPD Scope and Standards of Practice to reflect the evolution of our practice. Workgroup co-chairs, Dr. Mary Harper and Dr. Patsy Maloney present the exciting changes to our specialty’s foundational document that will propel us into the next era of NPD.


Building Bridges: One Question at a Time
Susan Bindon, DNP, RN-BC, CNE
This lively closing session helps participants leave the Steel City knowing they can and must continue to ask and answer questions to change their own, their teams’, even their organizations’ practice. Examples of the power of inquiry and practical strategies for turning curiosity into action are offered. In keeping with the convention theme, participants are encouraged to nurture and grow their spirits of inquiry, one question at a time.

INPD Spring Meeting

We had a lovely breakfast meeting at the Little America coffee shop. Thanks to everyone who made it. Here are the notes from the meeting:

Fall Conference (Sept? Oct? Location?)
Speaker: Greg Durkin – “How to Enjoy Your Job” Presentation
  • Consensus to have Greg come
Conference, Education Ideas: 
  • Telehealth
  • Quality related/evidence based practice (How to drive)
  • Have a presentation of educator’s evidence based practice projects
  • Paula Julander – Politics
  • Legal Ramifications, litigation against nurses, have a nurse lawyer come
  • Informal leader as an educator
  • Motivating and influencing people
  • Send an inquiry out of members who want to be on the conference committee:
    • Annette Welch would like to be included
    • Susan Peterson – Lone peak as well
  • Suzanne Carlisle will make a quilt to raffle off
  • Come up with a list of conference objects and a target audience
  • Possibly extend an invitation to any Clinical educator, not necessarily nurses
  • Have Annette present her ANPD National Conference Presentation – Facilitating Facilitators
Other ideas: 
  • Have more often at Little America – have people pay their own way
  • Bring back a service project 
  • Send group a directory of INPD members with contact information 
  • Send a link to the INPD blog
  • Add the list serves as a reference on the blog
  • There is a concern if we have more ANPD certified Professional Development Specialists, how can they get more CEU’s to maintain certification
  • Host ANPD webinars for the group
  • Friday mornings still work best for most

We will definitely plan more meetings at Little America. It was fun! 
If you have any comments or concerns, please let us know!

Donna Wright Conference Info

Getting to the University of Utah College of Nursing

We highly recommend using public transportation to get to the Donna Wright conference! If you take Front Runner to Central Point, the U runs a white campus shuttle called "Express to the U" every half hour from 0630 to 0830 that will take you up to the College of Nursing. If you catch it at 0730, you will get there in time for the 0800 start. 

If you want to take Trax, the Red line will get you across the street from Primary Children's:

If you need to drive, please carpool!!!

The top map will get you to the Health Science parking terrace which has visitor parking on the first and second level, at the corner of South Medical Dr and 2030 East. The bottom map will get you to the College of Nursing, 10 South 2000 East. Getting to campus by car will take you twice as long as it normally does because school is in session. Expect delays.
