Default Re: Reimbusrement for precepting a new nurse
I can't imagine precepting for nothing extra. It is your time, takes longer to do visits, and is time consuming on the preceptor part. They should give you a bonus. You could usually do more visits in the same amount of time you spend with a new nurse, therefore you would make more money. I just think that they should give something extra, plus the nurse is doing my visits, where if I did the visit myself, I would get paid a visit rate and most likely get home earlier, my time is valuable to me. Granted with preceptors it does make retaining the nurses easier, but should you burn out or make your veteran nurses feel slighted? Employers need to realize, that precepting is not just a walk in the park and it helps to retain nurses. My employer made it sound like I should feel lucky to get anything at all, since all I had to do was "stand there and watch her do the visit".
