Overview
At The Nursing Centre, we understand that the role of the Preceptor is challenging BUT vitally important in its impact of the future nursing workforce. And that's why we're taking a special interest in providing unique developmental programs that focus on the leadership skills required to be a Preceptor today.
All nurses have a professional responsibility to foster the next nursing workforce - indeed this is part of the overall nursing competencies. Nursing preceptors who engage with student nurses, graduate nurses, and re-entry nurses play an important role in fostering how the future nursing workforce experiences nursing and are key in how new nurses gain their nursing competencies. Nursing leadership programs are often focussed on nurses who hold 'titled' leadership positions; however, nursing preceptors are also nursing leaders and the Leadership for Preceptors Workshop acknowledges this important developmental activity.
The Leadership for Preceptors Workshop is designed to enhance the leadership skills of Preceptorss and foster ongoing professional development in this important role. Participants will earn continuing nursing education (CNE) points.
Learning Outcomes
At the completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- The nursing profession
- The organisation
- The preceptee
Leadership Framework
The Leadership for Preceptors Workshop uses the Kouzes & Posner leadership model, the Leadership Challenge, as the core framework of leadership exploration. The five practices of exemplary leadership to be explored include:
Additionally, participants are provided with access to contemporary Australian research in nursing competency models, including the Ascent to Competence Model by Dr Tracy Levett-Jones of the University of Newcastle, and to a wide variety of mainstream leadership and related thinking, case studies and challenges.
The Leadership for Preceptors is not a clinical program. It is designed to compliment other forms of preceptor development which have a focus on mainstream training/supervision and clinical skills.
