Introduction:
My project will focus on the importance of Continuing Professional Development
(CPD) for me as a nurse at Wesley Hospital, a non-profit private hospital operated and owned
by The Uniting Church of Australia. As a nurse, Continuing Professional Development will
assist me in maintaining, improving and broadening my skills and knowledge and developing
personal attributes which are important in the dynamic field of healthcare. CPD is important
in enhancing professional and personal skills. Therefore, as a nurse at Wesley Hospital, I
need to have a plan for professional development as it is a career-long process which is
essential due to the growth of resources in the organization. CPD assists in promoting self-
learning and addresses all inadequacies in previous knowledge and learning.
