title: Teaching the teachers: creating an effective critical care preceptor program.
abstract: Staff nurse preceptors are integral members of effective critical care orientation programs. Much of the success of the orientation experience and orientee satisfaction depends on them. A critical care preceptor workshop containing a review of the orientation program and the application of educational principles in critical care settings has been found to be an effective method for assisting preceptors and for enhancing our orientation program.
