In 2024, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's (CHOP) Nursing Professional Development (NPD) team decided their Frontline Leaders Program needed revised to better assist learners in gaining leadership skills and filling essential positions on the floor. The team found that learners struggled to remain engaged throughout the program and teachers felt dissatisfied with the instructional approach.

NPD team members worked to develop a program with prework, in-class interactive activities, and outcome measurements to develop charge nurses and clinical mentors who are advanced preceptors. This case study explores how CHOP saved time and costs by using PLS' curriculum as a base for their new programming.
