Abstract:
Mobile technologies can be used to engage learners in a dynamic way. Many nursing preceptors are not adequately prepared for clinical teaching. The purpose of this project was to implement mobile learning technology for clinical preceptor development. Preceptors working one-on-one with senior nursing students in their final clinical practicum course received weekly information through the Remind© application, including reminders, supplemental resources, course updates, and encouragement to engage preceptors in developing competency in the clinical educator role. Preceptors' reaction to the continuing education offering was positive. Research is needed to evaluate the effects of mobile technology on preceptors' competence.
