Ok. Thanks, that helps! I wasn't sure how much teaching/ mentoring was involved and how much of it was to show the preceptor how much you already knew. Seems that the preceptor is there if you need them, but you are expected to be the nurse.
Could anyone tell me what to expect from my preceptor in terms of how much autonomy is expected, what level of knowledge is considered a given, and how to prepare for it. In my program it is the clinical part of with the third med surg course. At this point I was going to review Mosleys on YouTube and got to the skills lab to practice.
