This is the final episode of The Peds NP Acute Care PNP Faculty series. The series was created and peer-reviewed by national leaders in acute care PNP education in collaboration to meet the needs of our current and future colleagues. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.
As I come to an end of my time as a faculty member at the Catholic University of America and our Acute Care PNP Faculty series, I remember my graduation from Johns Hopkins. These terminal moments are likened to a graduation, and serve as a wonderful time for reflection. The episode recollects the student speaker commencement address given at my graduation, filled with vehicular metaphors and acknowledgements of failure. A common theme of “Onward” is woven throughout to remind listeners that, at whatever graduation you find yourself celebrating right now, be hopeful and excited at the good that is left to do in the world.
The Peds NP will return in 2025 from Duke University…
