Overview 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.
