Continuing Education: Participating in workshops, seminars, and online courses to stay current with advancements in nursing. 4. Mentorship: Learning from experienced nurses who can provide guidance, support, and feedback. 5. Self-Assessment: Regularly evaluating one's own competencies and identifying areas for improvement. 6. Simulation Training: Using simulation labs to practice and refine clinical skills in a controlled environment.
