From Novice to Expert: Excellence and Power in Nursing Practice author, legacy nurse educator and nurse theorist, Dr. Patricia Benner, will kick off the 2025 National Nurses Week with our fourth annual nurse preceptor live webinar hosted by the North Carolina Area Health Education Center (NC AHEC) network.

This knowledge-based education activity will feature Benner's nursing theory, "Novice to Expert." This conceptual framework, which is foundational to modern nursing, influenced the nursing process of how nurses learn and apply clinical reasoning and judgement throughout their individual stages of practice development.[**Join us**](https://www.wakeahec.org/courses-and-events/75099)**!**
