Abstract:
Preceptors are essential in the clinical education of prelicensure registered nursing and advanced practice registered nursing students. However, there is a growing scarcity of preceptors available to provide clinical education. Additionally, preceptors have not uniformly received professional development in the practice of teaching that is essential in delivering high quality clinical education, and clinical education in nursing is an unfunded mandate. This article reviews the current state of preceptors, the importance and challenges of preceptors in clinical education, the lack of funding for clinical education by preceptors, and proposed solutions.
