  7. Clinicals – Don’t Waste Time • Eight students to one instructor • Major myth - Excellent nurse automatically means an excellent clinical instructor • Teaching skills for adult learners of various generations • Organization • Schools must develop

  8. Speak directly and solve problems

  9. Preceptors - Nevada Regulation NAC 632.675 (7)(8) (7) A program of nursing that uses the personnel of a clinical facility as preceptors to instruct the clinical experience of students must require: • (a) Each preceptor to have clinical expertise and to have demonstrated competence in the specialty of the students whom he will instruct; • (b) Each preceptor to be approved by the faculty of the program of nursing; • (c) The faculty of the program of nursing to provide to each preceptor an orientation concerning the roles and responsibilities of students, members of the faculty and preceptors; and • (d) The faculty of the program of nursing to develop written objectives and provide a copy of those objectives to each preceptor, before the preceptor begins his instruction of the students. (8) In addition to the requirements set forth in subsection 6, a program of nursing that uses the personnel of a clinical facility as preceptors to instruct the clinical experience of students: • (a) Must ensure that each preceptor is assigned to instruct not more than two students at the same time; • (b) Must designate a member of the faculty to serve as a liaison between the preceptor and each student who participates in the clinical experience; • (c) Must require that each preceptor be present in the clinical facility and available to the students at all times when the students provide nursing services to patients; and • (d) May use a preceptor to reinforce basic nursing skills or to teach nursing skills which build on the basic nursing skills that the students have acquired.

  10. Working Relationships • The faculty member is responsible and must communicate with the preceptor

  11. Dedicated Education Units • Best of both worlds

  12. Great Nursing Education in Nevada • Communicate • Report unsafe practices • If you ask a school to leave, please inform NSBN • Patient safety is always your first priority
