Clinical capability with emphasis on Nursing Judgment Analyze – Evaluate - Synthesize
Psychomotor
Develop Precision Articulation Become automatic Integrate related skills Naturalization Technical skills
Affective
Act upon Attitudes
Develop value system Organize own values Adopt behavior Internalize values

Goal: To effectively develop & collect evidence of capability
Preceptors will require: Effective Communication Supportive Interpersonal Skills Core teaching/learning principles
Foster critical thinking skills
Team process:
Relationship-based care Relationship-based development 16 © 2003 - 2008 Vermont Nurses In Partnership, Inc. All rights reserved. No copying without permission. vt-nurses@earthlink.net

Preceptor roles & responsibilities
Teaching and learning theory
Learning styles, Novice to expert, Simple to complex, Principles of adult learning Story-telling, Use of case scenarios, and/or practice with difficult situations
Collaborative team approach
Relationship-based process, Interpersonal issues, conflict management, Socialization 17 © 2003 - 2008 Vermont Nurses In Partnership, Inc. All rights reserved. No copying without permission. vt-nurses@earthlink.net
To validate capability
Define “competent practice”
Delegation, accountability, liability
Nurse practice act, job descriptions, P & P
Performance management
Communication & feedback Assessment & evaluation of capability
Data collection
Validating performance, collecting evidence, complete documentation tools 18 © 2003 - 2008 Vermont Nurses In Partnership, Inc. All rights reserved. No copying without permission. vt-nurses@earthlink.net
Preceptor development
Preceptor Development & Support Multi-disciplinary approach Need to: Revise/update the preceptor model Develop high level preceptor workshops Consider recognition and reward Prioritize protector role Delineate evaluator/validator role Establish protocols 19 © 2003 - 2008 Vermont Nurses In Partnership, Inc.
