Developing Political Engagement Competency Among Primary Care Advanced Practice Nursing Students.

Developing political engagement among nurses who care for rural and underserved communities can help mitigate health inequities. An experiential learning opportunity informed by Lobby Day was developed to prepare primary care advanced practice nursing students with the policy skills needed to actively serve as advocates for their patients and communities.

A Competency-Based Curriculum for Critical Care Nurse Practitioners' Transition to Practice.

Background: Nearly one-third of new-graduate nurse practitioners report undergoing no formal orientation process, and postcertification orientation processes vary. A validated curriculum would address the need for structured training to enhance new graduates' practice transition.

Methods: A competency-based practice transition curriculum for intensive care unit nurse practitioners was created using a literature review and expert panels.
