Mastering Precepting: A Nurse's Handbook For Success
Available To Downloads

Nurse Preceptors live at the intersections of education/practice and of the present/future. They are the essential link between what nurses are taught and what they do, and between what nurses know and what they need to know. Mastering Precepting: A Nurse's Handbook for Success, Beth Tamplet Ulrich and contributors share their experiences, advice, theory, and research findings to better describe the role of precepting and the importance of it. This book is not only a primer for the new preceptor but a resource to consult as needed over a lifetime of precepting. Experience and good clinical skills do not necessarily result in good precepting. Throughout its 13 chapters, Mastering Precepting looks at the role of preceptor: learning strategies, communication, coaching, technology, behaviors and motivation, and self-care. It focuses on improving the skills of those who serve as preceptors, not only for new graduates but for nurses transitioning from any nursing role into another. A good preceptor can set the foundation for a thriving career while a poor one can have devastating outcomes, not only for the nurse, but for the patient as well.

good price, an excellent resource for precepting. We have developed a new nurse residency program and really want to build a strong pool of preceptors. this is a great guide for developing your program.

I used this book as a reference for a preceptor class at my organization. Pretty thorough and encompassed all of the major pieces preceptors might consider. I would not recommend it for the average nurse out there precepting though. As I was reading the book, I was thinking that an average staff nurse is not going to get through this material easily during the course of their day. There was a fair amount of theoretical content as well that most staff nurses would gloss over and go right to the applicable tips. I think the concepts were broad and of use mostly for educators. Nicely done.

Great information.
