Dear CSUB Department of Nursing Preceptor:
Thank you for your support in helping our nursing students apply nursing practice concepts in your clinical area. Your willingness to be a preceptor is greatly appreciated by both the student and the Nursing faculty at California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB). The Preceptor Handbook is available to assist you in interacting with the nursing student you are assigned. This handbook is designed to provide both the preceptor and the student with an understanding of the roles and responsibilities in this collaborative effort. It includes: information about the CSUB Nursing Program, the preceptor program expectations, and tips for you as a preceptor.
Clinical experience gives graduate students the opportunity to apply theory in the clinical situation, develop an understanding of the nurse practitioner's role, function as a member of an interdisciplinary team, and demonstrate the ability to mobilize and coordinate available community resources in the management of client health and illness states. Students develop their clinical reasoning skills and test their philosophy of practice throughout clinical experience.
The entire clinical rotation covers one academic semester. At the end of this rotation please complete and return the forms as indicated in the handbook. Your evaluation feedback is greatly appreciated in that it will aid us in our program's performance improvement efforts.
Again, thank you for you participation in the CSUB Nursing Department Preceptor Program.
