ABSTRACT
The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity outlines nine recommendations for achieving health equity in the United States through nursing expertise. This column will explore how organizations accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) in nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) can align the NCPD accreditation criteria to help meet recommendations 3 and 7 of The Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report.

Nursing professional development practitioners and nurse planners lead the charge in providing and evaluating nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) to achieve strategic goals. Organizations accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) have well-structured nursing professional development departments uniquely positioned to leverage NCPD to achieve organizational goals. This column will demonstrate how ANCC Accreditation in NCPD, in conjunction with the Association for Nursing Professional Development's Nursing Professional Development: Scope & Standards of Practice, underpins the critical role of NCPD and the nurses within the specialty of NCPD.

Representatives of three international associations reviewed literature published from 2009 to 2018 to ascertain the effectiveness of simulation use in transition to practice programs for newly licensed registered nurses (NLRNs). A review of nine quantitative studies demonstrated that simulation positively influences NLRN self-perception of skills, competence, readiness for practice, and confidence. However, evidence of objective measures of NLRN competence and the impact of simulation on patient and organizational outcomes was lacking.

Ecosystem management was formally adopted over a decade ago by many U.S. natural resource agencies, including the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. This approach calls for management based on stakeholder collaboration; interagency cooperation; integration of scientific, social, and economic information; preservation of ecological processes; and adaptive management. Results of previous studies indicate differences in the extent to which particular components of ecosystem management would be implemented within the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management and suggest a number of barriers thought to impede implementation. Drawing on survey and interview data from agency personnel and stakeholders, we compared levels of ecosystem-management implementation in the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management and identified the most important barriers to implementation. Agency personnel perceived similarly high levels of implementation on many ecosystem-management components, whereas stakeholders perceived lower levels. Agencies were most challenged by implementation of preservation of ecological processes, adaptive management, and integration of social and economic information, whereas the most significant barriers to implementation were political, cultural, and legal.
