Building on strengths through preceptorships.
Learning needs of registered nurses in post-RN degree programs vary from those of basic (generic) baccalaureate or diploma nursing students. Despite this awareness, there is a paucity of literature which addresses the utility of preceptorships with this group. This paper discusses various viewpoints regarding the preceptorship process experienced by one post-RN degree nursing program in Western Canada. Specifically, the paper describes how the process was used with the post-RN population and discusses outcomes from student, faculty and preceptor perspectives.
