Developing Nurse Preceptors for Future Emergency Department Nurses: Instructor Manual

By: Torres, Mary

Every experienced nurse was once the new nurse.

And behind many exceptional nurses was someone who taught them how to become one.

In the Emergency Department, technical skills are only part of the equation. Nurses must learn to recognize deterioration, prioritize competing demands, communicate under pressure, ask for help, make sound clinical decisions, and protect patients when circumstances change in an instant.

Those abilities do not develop by accident.

Developing Nurse Preceptors for Future Emergency Department Nurses equips experienced Emergency Department nurses and educators to turn clinical expertise into intentional teaching. Through practical coaching strategies, guided discussion, realistic case studies, simulation, reflection, feedback, and progressive independence, this program moves precepting beyond orientation checklists and task completion.

Its purpose is bigger, to develop preceptors who can teach nurses how to think, not simply what to do.

Because every orientee will eventually care for patients without their preceptor standing beside them.

And every preceptor has an opportunity to leave emergency nursing stronger than they found it.

Teach clinical judgment.

Build confidence.

Protect patients.

Shape the future of emergency nursing.
