How Many Preceptor Hours Are You Required To Do?

[DisneyNurseGal]

One thing I have learned from this site, is that everyone's programs are so different!

I start school end of August and my preceptorship in October . We do not have to do nearly the amount of preceptor hours I thought we would have to. I have 8 weeks to complete TWELVE 12-hour shifts (Total 144 hours). How does this compare to your program? I also think it is strange, since we do not have classes during this time.

We do 120 hours over 10 weeks or so on top of clinicals. The scary thing is that there is such a fierce competition between schools we don't get where we want to go always. Some people are placed in nursing homes. I managed to get an ICU at the hospital I work in so I am excited. We can refuse and they will try to place the people in different places.
