Preceptor Process

October 2, 2009

Dear KU School of Nursing Advanced Practice Student,

As you begin planning for your Spring 2010 clinical courses, we want to review with you the procedure for preceptor selection for clinical experiences.  Students and faculty participate in the process of identifying and securing preceptors.  It is the responsibility of each advanced practice student to identify his/her own preceptor for the clinical experiences.  However,  it is essential for the student to involve the assigned faculty member in this process.   Please review the attached Checklist for Preceptor Selection and Approval Process which provides step by step instructions for this activity.  To assist you in selecting appropriate preceptors for your clinical experiences,  please refer to the attached Guidelines for Selecting a Preceptor.

Before you contact anyone about being a preceptor,  you will need to submit the name of that individual  to your faculty contact for approval.   You should contact faculty no later than November 6, 2009.  The grid below provides the name of  the faculty contact for each course. The number of clinical hours required each week is provided to assist you in planning your clinical experiences.

*  NRSG 817 or 867 students have the option of a clinical placement at a rural location. These rotations are generally completed in a consolidated block of time.  Should the student select this option the school will provide the preceptor and site. Please contact Dr. Moya Peterson or Dr. Diane Ebbert to discuss this option if you are interested.

Respectfully,

Diane Ebbert,  PhD, APRN, FNP-BC
