| Purpose |
Dedicated and competent nurse preceptors are vital to the success of our health care organizations and to the retention of nurses in the nursing profession. Our mission is to take a proactive approach in the education and support of nurse preceptors.
The Missouri Nurse Preceptor Academy is a training program for hospital registered nurses serving as preceptors to newly hired nurses. Every new nurse deserves a dedicated and competent preceptor to support their orientation experience. As a preceptor, you can make the difference. |
| Objectives |
At the conclusion of the program, participants will be able to:
- describe essential preceptor knowledge and skills
- describe strategies to facilitate the transition
of novice and advanced beginner nurses to new clinical settings
- develop ongoing support mechanisms for
preceptors
