In today's fast-paced, performance metrics-driven health care world, data-driven actions often squeeze out the imaginative space that visionary leadership requires. However, imagination-or what we term here dreaming-is not a luxury in leadership; it is a necessity. In a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, the ability to envision new possibilities can take us to new heights (Robinson).

In 2024, the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Accreditation programs, Nursing Continuing Professional Development Accreditation™, Joint Accreditation™, Practice Transition Accreditation Program®, and Advanced Practice Provider Fellowship Accreditation®, announced the convergence of its annual events into a single integrated experience. This inaugural event, the ANCC Professional Development and Practice Summit™ (PDP Summit™), will be held in spring 2026. By unifying the ANCC Accreditation programs under one flagship, the goal is to support and align shared communities of practice and stakeholders. This column examines the ANCC Accreditation programs, the purpose of the PDP Summit, and the expected impact on stakeholders who attend.

Trauma training for nurses is essential for quality trauma care. Whereas traditional offline workshops face spatiotemporal limitations, online training models offer a necessary evolution in the information era.

The population of adults with congenital heart disease is rapidly increasing, highlighting the need for lifelong access to specialized care. To provide up-to-date care, health care teams require continuous education. Digital platforms allow for hybrid learning opportunities, combining in-person and online education. Hybrid training has become an increasingly popular means of delivering continuous education to health care professionals, offering flexibility, accessibility, and ongoing professional development. Hybrid models enable health care teams to remain engaged and current, ensuring the delivery of high-quality care. This article describes the role of hybrid education in the professional development of nurses and allied health professionals.

Nurse residency programs (NRPs) are designed to support new graduate nurses in their transition from academia to professional practice and also improve job satisfaction and retention. Many studies highlight these benefits within the first year of nursing practice. The goal of this study is to show the longer-term effect of NRPs at 1, 2, and 3 years.

Prevention of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) has become an emerging topic in public health. Nurses' awareness of PICS is important for its management. The goal of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of neurosurgical nurses regarding PICS and analyze associated factors.

In nursing and health care, professional development is more than the transfer of knowledge-it is a dynamic process that shapes professional identity, ethical practice, and lifelong adaptability. This column examines the significance of ontology (the nature of being), epistemology (the nature of knowing), and the continuum of pedagogy, andragogy, and heutagogy as foundational frameworks for educators in nursing continuing professional development (NCPD). These are not just abstract concepts; they are deeply rooted in the nursing profession, guiding the transformational education of nurses. Drawing on current scholarship and the American Nurses Credentialing Center Accreditation in NCPD™, it positions these "GYs" as philosophical and practical anchors for transformational education. The discussion highlights implications for educators, accreditors, and health systems and offers a reflection for integrating these concepts into practice.

Transitioning from academia to clinical practice can be overwhelming for new nurses, often leading to uncertainty and self-doubt, known as impostor phenomenon. Prioritizing mental health is vital for improving retention, job satisfaction, and team effectiveness.

Clinical preceptors play a vital role in nurse practitioner education, yet recruitment and retention remain challenging. This article describes a survey of preceptor satisfaction after the implementation of revised benefits along with motivational factors.

The study developed and validated the Nursing Environment Fit Index (NEFI) to guide new graduate nurse (NGN) work and lifestyle preference assessment.

Emergency department overcrowding affects patient safety and service efficiency. Although the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) is widely implemented in Saudi Arabia, variability in triage accuracy remains as a result of limited formal training. This study assessed the impact of a structured CTAS educational intervention on nurses' triage knowledge and the performance of a hospital-based urgent care center.
