How lack of support and recognition for RN preceptors is affecting nursing students' learning on placement.
Nurse Education Today 2024 April 11
The clinical placement environment plays a pivotal role in shaping the learning experiences and outcomes of nursing students. In this article, the challenges and dynamics within the clinical placement environment are examined, with a particular focus on the role of registered nurse preceptors. The multifaceted nature of the clinical landscape is highlighted with consideration given to the impact on both students and preceptors. Key to the success of any placement is the relationship between nursing students and their preceptors. The quality of this relationship directly influences the learning journey of students, with positive interactions contributing to enhanced learning outcomes and professional growth. However, within the literature, a range of challenges faced by nurse preceptors are captured, including limited support, recognition, and formal training. This lack of preparation and support not only impacts the well-being of preceptors but also compromises the quality of education provided to nursing students. In this article, the complexities of the clinical environment, including high patient acuity, demanding workloads and limited teaching time, are highlighted. If we are serious about preparing quality nurses, then we need to get serious about supporting those who are key to their learning and transition into practice.
