What you will learn
- The purpose of preceptorship is to provide a transition from the student role to the graduate practical nurse. During the preceptorship, the student and preceptor work closely together. The preceptor guides and supports the student in gaining further insights, awareness and knowledge through the realities of the work setting. The student is oriented into their new role as a graduate practical nurse and health care team member. Faculty advisors collaborate with the preceptor and student to help facilitate the preceptorship experience.
