Incompetent charge nurses negatively impact quality patient care. An analysis of a charge nurse professional development activity intervention included pre- and posttests, an activity curriculum evaluation, and staff satisfaction surveys. Posttest scores improved significantly (t = 60, p = .001). All participants rated the professional development activity as highly appropriate and beneficial to their nursing practice.
