The Importance of Preceptorship Programs in Nursing Education


After many hours of studying, stressful skills test-outs, and difficult competency evaluations, I am entering my last quarter of nursing school and am very excited to have come this far.  I am even more excited for what I have to look forward to this next quarter, specifically my preceptorship.  I will utilize my preceptorship as an opportunity to solidify the clinical and theoretical knowledge that I have compiled throughout my nursing education and prepare for my first job as a nurse. 

Preceptorship Programs

A preceptorship program involves a registered nurse who provides supervision through a one-on-one relationship with a student nurse during an on-site clinical experience.  In attempt to better prepare nursing students for the clinical setting, nursing faculty began using preceptorships as part of all clinical education.  Preceptorship programs are fully promoted by nursing professional organizations and are widespread in undergraduate nursing programs.

Challenges and Barriers to Preceptorship Programs

·         Time consuming

What You Don't Know About Preceptorships
 
 
In conclusion, preceptors expose nursing students to the realities of nursing practice by demonstrating leadership qualities of compassion and care.  Preceptors have the ability to expose nursing students to an effective clinical experience, which directly enhances the development of confidence and competence. Preceptors also can affect the professional growth of nursing students.  As you can see, the benefits of preceptorship programs undoubtedly outweigh the challenges and barriers.

I have been suffering from herpes, I had spent a lot of money going from one Hospital to another looking for a way to get rid of this disease, the hospital has been my home everyday residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this fateful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how @Dr_anuge7 helped someone in curing his herpes disease using his healing Herbs, quickly I copied his email just to give him a test I spoke to him, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, after I received his herbs and I took it as instructed. I was cured permanently from herpes. My herpes disease was gone. so I decided to share my testimony, that nothing is impossible with God, God used a man to heal me. No matter what you are passing through, no matter how deadly the sickness is and no matter what the situation is God that did mine is still going to do yours, people suffering from herpes, brain tumor, kidney disease, pcos, AIDS, ALS, copd, asthma, arthritis, herpes, Cancer, Hpv, any kind of disease, you can reach him now via Gmail address: dranuge@gmail.com or whatsapp   +2348164866838
