Abstract

Nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners play an important role in ensuring the quality and safety of nursing care and in guiding nurses through practice transitions. Recently, increasing numbers of NPD practitioners have been employed in ambulatory care settings, yet little is known about how the ambulatory practice setting affects or is affected by NPD practice. The aim of this descriptive phenomenology was to describe how the NPD role is experienced in the ambulatory care setting.
