Conclusion
Having a PDP will help the NP understand and promote their abilities and skills. Completing a PDP while in school pushes the student to start thinking about and preparing for their future because it makes them learn about rules, regulations, and state requirements for licensure. The PDP also makes students think about and determine their strengths and weaknesses, goals and objectives for the short and long-term future, and develop a plan of action on how to market and network to reach their goals. As long as the NP is learning and growing, the PDP will always be a work in progress. As the NP advances through Benner’s stages, they have the opportunity to turn their identified weaknesses into strengths. There are many national and local nursing organizations one can utilize for a multitude of resources, including employment opportunities. The PDP is a tool that is beneficial for the new NP and will help in their transition from NP student to a practicing NP.
