I am a new nurse educator (but an old nurse). I am trying to find out who gets a differential for orienting new staff in your institution. Just RN's? LPN's also? What about techs, CNA's, etc? I posted something similar on the LPN board , but I am trying to get as many responses as possible, as this is an issue I want to present to my employer. Thanks so much in advance for your help. I'd like to see some reward for the extra effort of precepting for our clinical staff.

Re: Orientation Differential

That'd be so nice, I have been precepting for a long long time and I have not gotten a single cent differential for precepting, the occasional gift from the orientees maybe Never from the hospital itself, hope you get to be able to convince them.

Re: Orientation Differential

I was interviewing at a hospital for an intern position ( I graduate in a year) She was telling me if I went to work there and stayed when I graduated I would have a 9 month orientation and would have a preceptor for a full 2 years. Then I can become a preceptor. You earn up to $2,000 for the full 2 years preceptorship. I think you get it in increments. Of course if your preceptee left prior to the 2 years you wouldn't get the full amount, but if they stayed the whole 2 years and you precepted that whole time then you could get the full amount.
