Preceptorship!!

Published

I also posted this on the cardiac nursing site...

Hello to everyone! I will be starting my preceptorship on a cardiac floor tomorrow. This is the last part of nursing school for us! Can you please give me some advice as to what to do...I want the nurse to think that I am capable, since she will be meeting with my teacher sometime in the next couple of weeks to discuss this. I have always been fine in clinicals. I just do not know what she is expecting me to know. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there is anything I should review before I get there, that would also help!!! Thanks in advance!

I see that your post was in March, I was curious as to how your preceptorship went?

I start mine this weekend.

I've been doing preceptorship for the past week (already have 5 shifts in, out of 12 total). It's going well, I'm in OB (where I've been an employee since last summer).

IME, they expect you to have graduate-level nursing skills and critical thinking. Ask lots of questions, and don't shy away from doing as many skills as possible.
