How Will You Leap Into 2024?

This year, as is tradition every 4 years, we have a leap year. That is, there are 29 days in February instead of the usual 28 days. Looking ahead to 2024, I started thinking about what it means “to leap.” I pictured someone leaping to their feet in excitement when their team makes the game winning point. Or I thought about the old adage look before you leap. Both of these mental images align with the Cambridge Dictionary’s definition of leap: “to make a large jump or sudden movemen t, usually from one place to another.”1 By now you may be asking: What does leaping have to do with nurse practitioner (NP) practice, education, or scholarly writing, for that matter? My response is that all of these may require you to take a leap at one time or another.
