Preceptors in long-term care. 1997 NGNA innovations in practice award winner.
A preceptor is an experienced and competent staff member who serves as a clinical role model and resource person to newly employed nursing personnel. Although this concept has been prominent since the late 1970s in acute health care settings, preceptors rarely are used in long-term care facilities. This article describes the overall effectiveness of the first long-term care preceptor program implemented at the Masonic Home of New Jersey in 1989. Conclusions will support the program as viable and beneficial to long-term care facilities by decreasing nursing turnover, providing continuity in the orientation process, promoting job satisfaction, and providing quality resident care.
