Participating in the beta testing for the Initial Competency Assessment Toolkit and Knowledge Assessment Tool, allowed us to share our ideas to create products that will revolutionize bedside nursing orientation and retention. Learn how to make sure your volunteer profile is up-to-date so you don’t miss opportunities in the future!
