  3. THE RELATIONSHIP IS THE KEY • In the Beginning…. • Make the preceptee feel welcome and accepted • Be available when the new orientee needs you • Listen openly and fully

  4. NURTURE YOUR YOUNG • Be patient and understanding • Be gentle and constructive when offering critiques of preceptee’s performance • Offer feedback in a frequent and timely manner on performance and progress

  10. SETTING THEM UP FOR FAILURE • Overwhelm new staff with details and minutiae • Rush the pace of instruction • Embarrass the new staff in front of coworkers, other staff or patients.

  11. BEATING THEM DOWN • Use negative feedback when critiquing or correcting preceptee performance • Keep new staff in the dark about their performance • Assume experienced new staff require little or no support, supervision or instruction.

  12. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE ORIENTEE… • Progresses too slowly in their performance? • Overestimates his or her capabilities? • Underestimates his or her capabilities • Is disorganized and can not complete work load in a reasonable time period? • Performs new skills with out seeking guidance?

  13. Or… • Has “know it all attitude and ignores the preceptor’s direction • Continues to perform a skill incorrectly after repeated demonstrations • Talks about how much better it was at their previous place of employment • Feels entitled but does not want accountablility

  14. OR EVEN…. • Shows a lack of concern after making a significant error • Complains about the preceptors skills and the quality of their work • Is too hesitant and fearful of making a mistake • Is preoccupied with their personal life • Has difficulty relating to their coworkers.

  15. IN SUMMARY • Nurture for everyone’s success • Don’t set the preceptee and yourself up for failure • Get support for yourself when the going gets tough. • Celebrate the success!!!!
