A number of strategies exist to enhance professional growth for nurses. Educational opportunities such
as taking an EKG course or obtaining PALS or ACLS certification are some ways of contributing to
professional growth. Cross training is another effective way to enhance one's skills and abilities to
work in different situations and units. Forming a mentorship relationship with a more experienced
nurse can be a benefit for both the mentee and mentor. Increasing benefits offered to employees may
be a positive action, but does not necessarily contribute to one's growth professionally.
