Description
Summary:Communication between preceptors and faculty and the time to teach have been identified as common barriers for preceptors working with nurse practitioner (NP) students. Despite traditional preceptor orientation strategies in school of nursing NP primary care programs, preceptors continued to express uncertainty and lack of clarity regarding the expectations of the precepted experience. Data to support this innovation were obtained through preceptor-faculty interactions through surveys, site visits, and focus groups examining the preceptor's experience with precepting. Infographics were developed for each of the three clinical practicum courses in the NP primary care track, which address expectations for these precepted experiences. Preceptors reported being more likely to review infographics, kept them accessible/available during the semester, and experienced clarity on the expectations for the experience. Preceptors and students expressed a more thorough understanding of the expectations for the NP student's practicums with the implementation of the infographics. .
