Nursing 86L: Prelicensure Preceptorship

Nursing 86L, Prelicensure Preceptorship, is the clinical component for Quarter 6.  During this course the student is paired with a Registered Nurse in a community hospital setting.

 

The Prelicensure Preceptorship is designed to prepare the student to function as a graduate nurse.  Students will participate in a prelicensure preceptorship during eight weeks of the quarter.  Students will work a minimum of 24h/week (either 8 hour shifts or 12 hour shifts) on either the day, evening, or night shifts, including weekend shifts. Emphasis will be given to management/leadership and ethical/legal issues during the prelicensure preceptorship.
