At last......

Sweet relief isnt it? Securing my preceptors was the most difficult part of the program for me. Good work!

@uronurse1. Yes it's a big relief. And I never realized how difficult it was to find willing preceptor. I'm absolutely going to give back once I'm done by providing preceptorships.

I am in complete agrees with you. I dont think I realize how difficult it would be. Honestly, I emailed and sent my resume around to everyone. At one point, I was about to give up. Thank God that turn around for me : ) I believe, truly, Nurse practitioner education is greatly impacted by your clinical experience and the preceptor you have.

that's great congrats!!!!

I agree with you about how preceptors impact you. My first semester of clinical i had two great preceptors and that i sort of modeled my myelf after (e.g. assessments, method of treatment, choosing certain meds over others, etc.) My last semester of clinical, i had a not so good preceptor whose methods were a little out of date (certain guidelines) and prescribed meds that were unnecessary to just to please parents because she didn't want to hear them complain (cold/cough medicine to kids under 2 yrs old, antibx and steroid ointments for birthmarks. Also not checking red reflexes and hernias, etc). I'm just glad i didn't have this one in my first clinical experience. Yes she has way more years of experience than me and i know the real world is different than what we learn in school but some of it didn't seem right to me based on my earlier clinicals.
