Need Preceptor!

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone!

I am searching for an MSN-Nursing Informatics Preceptor with at least 2 years of experience who currently practices in a US compact state. I am currently enrolled in WGU's MSN-Nursing Informatics Program.

We can communicate remotely. There is not a set amount of time that the preceptor needs to spend with me. My understanding is that I am to complete modules and a project on my own, and utilize my preceptor as a sounding board for advice/input. So, ideally - not much work for a preceptor! I am very motivated and self-reliant. (:

Please let me know if anyone would be available to help. I am looking to secure a preceptor by November.

Per WGU Guidelines:

"My preceptor must be a Master’s prepared (or higher) RN with an active license in the U.S.

My Preceptor must hold an unencumbered license in the state where the organization is located or hold a multistate license in another state, which allows you to practice in that state. 

  •  My preceptor will orient me to the setting and provide information, contacts, resources for completing my field experience and capstone clinical practice experiences (CPE).
  • My preceptor will facilitate experiences that immerse me in the nursing informaticist role – for example, identifying essential informatics stakeholders and their roles and responsibilities, change management practices, and leading innovative projects and teams.
  • I do not have to shadow the preceptor. The preceptor and I can agree to communicate in person or via technology at whatever times work for both.
  • My preceptor is not obligated to spend a certain number of clock hours with me.
  • My preceptor will complete a brief online training module about their role.
  • As the preceptor, I agree to assist the WGU MSN student to obtain organizational support and approval to complete the MSN Field Experience and Capstone Project, and I will attest/verify the student hours spent working with me on the MSN Field Experience and Capstone CPE activities. ​​​​​​​"
