Research preceptors: assisting the postanesthesia nurse to advance from novice to expert researcher
Abstract:
Benner proposed "novice to expert" to describe and explain the development of clinical skill acquisition in nursing students and practicing nurses. Frequently, nursing students' clinical skill acquisition is facilitated by a clinical instructor or preceptor; however, it is uncommon to facilitate research skills by this method. This article describes the novice-to-expert framework, its applications to practice competency development in students and nurses, and research skill expectations. Developing research skill in PACU nurses through the use of research preceptors is proposed.
