Preceptors are
experienced nurses who have made a commitment to facilitate the onboarding of
new employees.
Each preceptor provides a link for the student, orientee, or
experienced staff member to your organization,
its policies and procedures,
standards of care, and to patients.
Ambulatory care nursing encompasses all patient care settings outside of an
inpatient environment.
To create an effective learning experience using the
right educational tools, ambulatory care nursing preceptors
must have a clear
understanding of the clinical, legal, and organizational environment in which
they function
to deliver the right outcomes for your facility.
