Preceptor & Faculty Toolkits
Support the Next Generation of Nurses
The Nurse Preceptor Toolkit is designed to give preceptors the necessary skills to assist newly graduated nurses in transitioning from the student role into safe, competent, professional nursing practice.
The primary purpose is to build a support network of senior nurses around the novice nurses that will augment their academic education with clinical experience, provide emotional support and foster judgment skills.
Using the Nurse Preceptor Toolkit will help an organization create a cadre of well-trained preceptors who will function as teachers, coaches, and mentors in guiding, directing, and assessing nursing students or new nurses. For the new nurse, this will translate into increased self-confidence and job contentment, as well as improved patient care and safety.
These materials are based on adult learning theory, have been piloted, critically reviewed, and refined.
The complete program provides essential preceptor knowledge and skills. The Michigan Center for Nursing is pleased to provide these resources to organizations that share the vision of a quality nursing workforce.

Nurse Mentoring Toolkit
Caring mentors who provide encouragement and support can help nurses navigate the challenges of working in a hospital. A mentor is a good listener, who can offer advice and friendship in a trusted relationship.
The Nurse Mentoring Toolkit is designed for hospital nurses and can be used in new or established mentoring programs. This toolkit includes resources that support mentor program coordinators, mentors and mentees. Best practices, questions to jump start discussions, resources, checklists and activities are contained in this practical, how-to mentoring guide.
The toolkit is divided into 12 major sections and suitable for new or existing mentoring programs as well as informal mentoring relationships. The Nurse Mentoring Toolkit reference manual and materials have been developed and copyright protected by The Health Alliance of MidAmerica LLC.
