PRECEPTEE.

Direct patient care assignment for the preceptee will gradually increase as competency is demonstrated to and validated by the preceptor and/or clinical education staff. Each preceptee will receive a written copy of the objectives and goals of the preceptorship and shall receive periodic objective feedback throughout the preceptorship. The preceptor and preceptee shall work directly together on each shift until the preceptee has achieved the competencies on his or her unit.
