Preceptorship Advice

Published

Hi everyone,

So I am about to start my final semester preceptorship in the IMCU (Intermediate Care Unit) next week. Words can't express how excited I am to embark this opportunity. However, I am also very anxious. I feel like I will forget things and will feel stupid during my time there. Also, I am on night shift, so that is something that I will have to get used to.

Does anyone have any tips to prepare for my first day in my preceptorship? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! :)

Have a good attitude, be willing to learn and admit you don't know the answer. Don't be afraid of the "tough" patients, learn as much as you can from them. Always be willing to help others.
