What constitutes a preceptor?

I need to check our union book, but our DNS, told my manager that you only get preceptor pay if the nurse is a new grad. If a nurse comes to us with any experience, you get nothing.

What is your policy? I totally disagree with this. Even an experienced nurse is extra work when they are new to a facility.

    I work at a non-union facility and receive an additional $2 per hour if I precept any new employee, regardless of previous experience.

    At a unionized clinical site, preceptors get an extra dollar per hour for precepting senior students, or new grads. But I'm not sure about experienced employees.

    extra 2 bucks per hr regardless of experience, temperment or attitude! Sometimes it seems like peanuts,...but at least it is something,...

    We get nothing extra for precepting anyone.

    I'm precepting a new nurse again. Previously, one was an experienced nurse, and this one is a new grad. I get nothing extra but "thank yous" and added weight to my valued status that gets me whatever schedule I want, time off *instantly* whenever I ask for it, etc.

    We used to not get anything. Now, we get $200 when the 6 weeks of orientation is complete and an additional $200 after the nurse has been there a year. This is only for new grads, I believe.

    That is a nice deal!

    I've never been a preceptor to anyone, but i think that is wrong. It is extra work to take on any nurse, regardless if they are experienced or not.
