Thank you so much for your responses! They were very thorough, and I'm excited to create my own experiences with a preceptor starting tomorrow! :)

This is for a class in my nursing program. I'm in my last stretch before graduation in May. I have searched the Ovid database through my school and have compiled a few articles. I've even checked on here, but it seems as though most of the information I came across was older than 5 years. I was hoping to find something a little more recent. I start my own preceptorship on Wednesday.

Hi all! I am researching experiences people have had with their preceptorship once hired to work at a facility for a paper on "communication in preceptorship" - whether it's a SNF, Hospital, or whatever. My focus is between the preceptor and the novice RN. Some ideas of what I'm wanting to know are: What are some good and bad experiences you've had that I can learn from? What barriers did you find to be effective in communication as the preceptor and as the preceptee? Was there a generational difference between the two of you, and how did that affect the effectiveness of your communication? Was gender an issue? Did you stay at that job (as a new RN) after the preceptorship ended? How long? Did you feel comfortable expressing your concerns to your preceptor? why or why not? What made your preceptorship experience positive/negative? Did you as the novice RN work as a CNA, unit clerk, tech previously? Did that affect how you communicated? Same for the preceptor - did that affect the communication of a new RN with that kind of background experience? Any input would help immensely in framing my thoughts for this task. Thanks! T.
