Coaching for competence.
The preceptors and leadership team on a busy acute care general medical unit collaborated on a temporary plan to provide clinical support for 38 nurses who had been hired during the year. A pilot role was created and designated "unit coach." Each coach questioned and prompted reflective practice in building confidence and critical thinking.
