C. A. R. I. N. G.
for new nurses: Preceptor Training
Rebecca Totzke, RN, BSN, CMSRN
CNL Master’s Candidate August 2015
University of Pittsburgh
Introduction
Issue:
• 14% 4S RN turnover rate, highest of M-S units (8/14)
• PEC- RN “pull” survey- 29% of pulls to 4S (8/14)
• 4S preceptor interviews: No formal training
• Gap analysis: Hospital preceptor course last offered 4/13
Why does it matter?
• RN turnover demand on/for preceptors, burnout if
preceptor does not feel prepared or confident in role
• Quality of preceptorship experience directly impacts
satisfaction & retention of new RNs
• Patient care suffers-poor outcomes
Literature Review
• RN turnover=better outcomes & mortality (JC, 2001)
• Orientation$ = 100% RN salary; turnover = cost (JC, 2001))
• 1st yr new RN turnover = 35-65% (Figueroa, 2013)
• 65-76% of inexperienced RNs do not meet entry-level clinical judgment expectations. (delBueno, 2005)
• Preceptors impact job satisfaction & competency of new RN (Sandau et al., 2011)
• New RNs will change to less acute setting or leave nursing if don’t feel competent (NCSBN, 2008)
• Preceptors feel prep & understanding of role confidence (Panzavecchia & Pearce, 2014)
• “Live” class is best- shares info with discussions & learning (Horton et al., 2012)
Project Barriers
• Class room availability: 4S class 3 hrs vs. 4hrs
• Overwhelming amount of resources
• 100 hrs planned for course development, well exceeded
• Time limit of project: Inability to time teaching & then
pairing newly trained preceptor with new orientee to
observe preceptorship
Project Facilitators
• Very engaged staff: attendance & participation
• Beth Cancilla, Clinician 4S, assisted to recruit 4S staff to
participate in class based on schedule
• 100% of 4S preceptor attendance-9 total
• Leadership support for recruitment of participants
• MICU- 5 participants
• ED-2 participants
• Nurse leader residents-2 participants
• Support from education dept. to rewrite course
Methods
Objectives Short term
• Preceptor competence &
confidence
Long term
• Preceptors satisfaction with
role (3 & 6 mos )
• Satisfaction of new RNs with
newly trained preceptors
• Competence of new RNs at
end of preceptorship
• Retention of new RNs
Tools: PowerPoint handouts, discussions, feedback
handouts, recognition gifts
Classes:
4S: March 25th(2) &27th(1)
Hospital: April 2nd (2)
Total attendance: 9+12=21

Source of Evidence
1. Meeting minutes with 4S leadership for course planning
2. 2014 New RN survey-satisfaction with preceptorship, learning environment, preceptor
3. Course outline
4. Meeting agenda UD/Council & PP slides
5. Program evaluation

Future of “ Preceptor Program”
• Magnet document SOE
• Use newly trained preceptors with interns/new RNs
• Survey all new RNs post preceptorship for satisfaction
• Survey attendees at 3 & 6 months after-did practice change?
• Fall 2015 -Survey UD-satisfaction with skills of preceptors?
• Complete development of “Preceptor Program”
• Define selection criteria
• “Preceptor Support” services via online tools
