Nursing Careers at Newport Hospital
RN Preceptor Program
At Newport Hospital, our nurses recognize the importance of sharing what they know with all new staff. Our registered nurse preceptors are experienced clinicians who serve as role models and facilitators. They coach, inspire and support the development of the new graduate through the transition from student learner to the practicing professional. Preceptors are dedicated to sharing their clinical expertise, knowledge and skills to assist the new graduate nurse to put theory into practice. They create a learning atmosphere for students and encourage them to perform at their best, while providing critical feedback, supervision and direction. They guide the newly hired registered nurses through the orientation process and help them adjust to the new work environment.
Clinical II registered nurses become preceptors by attending the four-hour preceptor workshop. The workshop emphasizes critical thinking and learning as a life-long process and allows the nurse to learn the preceptor role, process and responsibilities. Principles of adult learning theory and learning styles serve as a framework for the program design and clinical practice. Specific legal and regulatory considerations related to the preceptor role are also covered.
Workshop faculty:
- Cathy Duquette, RN
- Deborah Delaney, RN
- Denise Sullivan, RN
Upon satisfactory completion of the course, the registered nurse preceptor receives an hourly differential when serving in the preceptor role.
