Creation of a career enhancement program for a hospital-based education and development department.

Full Abstract

This article reviews the development of a career enhancement program for hospital-based staff development consultants in a complex, centralized department consisting of diverse educator roles. Just as incentives for career enhancement are essential for retaining bedside nurses, it is equally vital for master's-prepared educators to have a growth and recognition plan. This theory-based model can provide the needed link to achieve individual and organizational goals related to educator development and recognition.
