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.
