Nursing professional development (NPD) work is strategically important yet frequently difficult to measure. This article describes a practical approach to defining productivity metrics and using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze NPD workload. AI-assisted analysis identified workload patterns, seasonal trends, and opportunities for data-informed resource planning while minimizing administrative burden. Findings demonstrate a scalable method for improving visibility of NPD contributions, optimizing resource allocation, and supporting strategic decision-making aligned with organizational priorities.
