This preceptorship course provides the nursing student enrolled in their last semester of nursing school, an opportunity to work directly with a RN preceptor. This experience allows students to apply knowledge and skills gained throughout the nursing program. The experience assists the student in making a smooth transition from the learner role to the entry-level registered nurses role in a realistic clinical setting. Opportunities to implement leadership and management skills as well as decision-making and priority-setting utilizing legal and ethical principles will be provided.

Note: If there are no preceptorship opportunities available, the student will be working directly with the course clinical instructor.
