A preceptorship is the formal one-on-one teaching/learning relationship between an experienced nurse (i.e., a preceptor) and a nursing student or newly graduated nurse. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the preceptor, including qualities of a preceptor, how to precept, responsibilities of the preceptor, and to aid in precepting a new nurse. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
