Summary
A new "Preceptor Pride" program was developed to support and recognize staff nurses in their preceptor roles. This initiative focuses on professional recognition and dedication to nursing education, ensuring economic feasibility.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Staff nurses play a crucial role as preceptors, guiding new nurses.
- Developing effective support and recognition programs for preceptors is essential for quality nursing education.
- Existing programs may not adequately address the needs of preceptors or be economically feasible.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an economically feasible program to support and recognize staff nurses in the preceptor role.
- To create a program applicable to both a children's hospital and an adult tertiary care facility.
- To enhance the professional recognition and acknowledge the dedication of nursing preceptors.
Main Methods:
- A nursing educator designed a recognition program.
- The program was developed for a Midwestern tertiary children's hospital within an adult tertiary care facility.
- Focus was placed on "professional recognition and individual dedication to education".
Main Results:
- A recognition program named "Preceptor Pride" was successfully developed.
- The program aims to support and recognize staff nurses serving as preceptors.
- It prioritizes professional recognition and dedication to education while remaining economically feasible.
Conclusions:
- The "Preceptor Pride" program offers a viable model for supporting and recognizing nursing preceptors.
- This initiative addresses the need for economically feasible recognition programs in healthcare settings.
- Investing in preceptor support can enhance nursing education and professional development.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

01:22The Professional Nurse
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

01:27Nursing Ethical Principles II
Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.

01:13Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
