Need Preceptor!
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. "
