   Helpful information for the clinical nurse



  
  In the image above, Lynn is a new graduate who
  is full of expectation. She arrives early on her new
  unit. But her hopes are shattered when her preceptor
  suggested that she is too busy to do an orientation.

It is unfortunate, but this does happen on occasion.
Although Lynn is off to a rough start, there are some
things she can do to make her situation easier.

    The role of the Preceptor 
A Preceptor has a very important role to play in
training new nurses. Typically, a nurse who is 
assigned to this role, has a significant number of
years of experience and is able to utilize the learned
skills in a meaningful way.

The role of a preceptor often impacts the way a new 
nurse sees the nursing profession and may even have
an effect on what is expected.
