Interested in Precepting a Student?
Being a preceptor for a nursing student is a rewarding experience and it aligns with the leadership expectations outlined in CNO’s Professional Standards document. Those interested in being a preceptor should follow-up with their direct supervisor to express their interest. They will in turn follow the policies and guidelines outlined by their organization to ensure the appropriate individual contacts the School of Nursing’s Placement Coordinator. It is recommended that the interested preceptor review the Preceptor Education Program to learn more about the preceptor’s role and responsibilities.
