Abstract:
This study identified nurse preceptor role frequency to newly licensed registered nurses and how it made a difference to the preceptors' job satisfaction. Statistical analysis revealed there was no difference in job satisfaction in preceptors who performed in the role one to four times than those who served five times or more, F(4, 124) = 0.261, p > .05. The study found variation in preceptor role preparation and differing registered nurse practice experience prior to performing as a preceptor.
