INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nurse preceptors are the essential link between what nurses are taught and what they need to know. Competent preceptors are critical to educating nursing students, transitioning new graduate nurses to the professional nursing role, and transitioning experienced nurses to new roles and specialties. Since the first edition was published, the importance of having preceptors and the need to educate and support RNs who transition into the preceptor role has increased.
In this second edition, published by the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma), each chapter has been updated with the most recent precepting evidence and two new chapters have been added.
"Precepting is a complex endeavor that requires competence and commitment," said author Beth Ulrich, EdD, RN, FACHE, FAAN, who has witnessed firsthand the importance of precepting and well-constructed preceptor programs in improving patient care. "By becoming a preceptor, you have accepted the professional responsibility of sharing your knowledge and expertise with others. There is no greater contribution to nursing and to patient care than to ensure the competence of the next generation of nurses."
