Michael R. Henning

The implementation of a preceptor training program is an integral step to improving the education of nurses entering the specialty of nephrology nursing. This preceptor training model integrates the components of the preceptor, orientee, educational support, administrative support, and incentives to form a basis for an effective preceptor program model. This model was piloted in a group of outpatient dialysis facilities. Benefits were achieved from the program, including nursing growth, leadership development, and anticipated improved nurse recruitment and retention.
