With nursing retention as a primary evaluative aim, corporate-level clinical preceptors (CCPs) were operationalized in the acute care setting. This role combined key elements of preceptorship and mentorship to support novice nurses' transition to practice. CCPs conducted check-ins through regular rounding, e-mails, surveys and open conversations, resulting in significantly reduced turnover rates, particularly within the first year of practice, and enhanced clinical competence and confidence. Further study of centralized preceptor programs is indicated.

Background: Though preparing autonomous advanced nursing providers who are ready to care for complex clients in a variety of settings after graduation is necessary to achieve clinical competence, NP clinical education activities used to achieve competencies are greatly variable and hard to measure. The quality of students' clinical experiences impacts students' achievement of clinical competence (CC) and achieving CC is important for the NPs to successfully transition to practice after graduation.
Aim: The purpose of this project is to apply the Cognitive Preceptorship Model (CPM) to design, describe, and explain the clinical activities that are NP role-specific, that scaffold from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), and National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) competencies and that help NP students achieve competencies.

Background: Current nursing instructional methods inadequately prepare students for complex healthcare settings, exacerbating challenges in new graduate competency and transition to practice. The introduction of standardized competencies marks a substantial shift in nursing education, posing a considerable challenge for faculty implementing these changes.
Purpose: This study examined the experiences of faculty implementing a competency-based education program utilizing The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (2021) in undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) education programs.

The advent of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems in 2020 marked a disruptive event in managing type 1 diabetes, benefiting children and adults alike. By 2024, advances in real-world data and research motivated an update to the French consensus on AID systems to expand accessibility, refine guidelines, and optimize patient follow-up. AID systems have consistently improved glycemic control by reducing HbA1c, increasing time-in-range (TIR), and minimizing hypoglycemia, with significant benefits even for specific populations such as individuals with poor glycemic control, brittle diabetes, children, very young children, pregnant women, those with insulin resistance or gastroparesis, or after bariatric surgery.

Transitions during the careers of surgical trainees and surgeons may be associated with risks that have the potential to negatively impact delivery of safe and effective patient care and the professional standing of individuals involved in delivering care. Simulation-based education interventions that address specific needs during the transitions can be very helpful in mitigating the risks. These interventions should be based on contemporary educational frameworks and strategies relating to teaching, learning, and assessment.

Singlet oxygen (O) is the main active ingredient in photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, an excess O can cause unnecessary toxicity. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop reliable and sensitive methods or probes for detecting O in biological systems.
