This book and CD-ROM plus set of handbooks, called the Nurse Preceptor Training System, contains every tool a new preceptor program needs to turn new nurses or nursing students into competent, energized members of the staff - and turn nursing managers into retention specialists.

Applicable to nurses in any setting, this "workshop in a box" resource is your complete guide to successfully implementing a new preceptor training program or revitalizing your existing program.

As your workforce of seasoned RNs dwindles, your ability to successfully train and orient new nurses has a direct effect on retention. Nurse preceptors help guide new nurses through orientation and assist them as they adjust to their new role and work environment. This edition is completely revised and expanded. The core of the training system is the completely revised Nurse Preceptor Program Builder: Tools for a Successful Preceptor Program, Second Edition. This easy-to-use binder contains all new content on:

roles and responsibilities of preceptors and preceptees
adult learning principles and teaching strategies
efforts to build professional practice environments
strategies to help new nurses overcome reality shock
ways to encourage critical thinking, evidence-based decision-making, and time management skills
ideas for creating competency-based orientation programs
strategies for advancing from precepting to mentoring
tips to provide effective feedback and performance evaluations

Time-crunched nurse managers need an all-in-one solution to plan, set up, run, and evaluate an effective nurse preceptor training program that is guaranteed to produce exceptional preceptors and competent new nurses every time. The system includes:

The book, Nurse Preceptor Program Builder, for trainers and preceptors alike, which comes with a CD-ROM packed with tools, including a PowerPoint slide presentation for your preceptor training sessions and forms and checklists for preceptor and assistant preceptor candidates, and,
