Resumen: Globally, the profession of nursing underwent major changes in the twentieth century. Many of these changes pertain to the way in which the nursing profession should be viewed and the manner in which clinical practice should be defined and studied. Redefining roles and competencies and sharing the outcomes of practice internationally can reshape the vision of our profession. This vision appears to be transformative for patients¿ lives and healthcare settings, as has become apparent during the COVID pandemic. To pursue this aim of attaining clarity regarding the foundations of our profession, it is very helpful to identify a professional practice model in each environment of practice, which can allow us to establish clear goals for nurses and clarify the scope of practice that is expected and aligned with the mission, vision, and values of each healthcare environment. The development of new healthcare professionals requires a clear conception of nursing. At Clinica Universidad de Navarra, we found the Nursing Professional Practice Model useful when aligning novice nurses with the vision, mission, and values that we wanted to translate to the new setting. This chapter discusses the ways in which a newly hired chief nurse officer was mentored by the chief nurse executive of the hospital with respect to translating the NPPM into a new setting and the effectiveness of this framework with regard to understanding the context of nursing practice at our hospital.
