Summary - Nurse Preceptor Certificate Course - Cohort 27. Online registration by Cvent

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Nurse Preceptor Certificate Course utilizes research on teaching and learning, skill acquisition, and clinical reasoning. The implications for teaching and learning for the Novice, Advanced Beginner, Competent, and Proficient levels in the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition will be presented. The program applies universal apprenticeships for any practice discipline—the Cognitive Apprenticeship, the Practice Apprenticeship, and the Ethical Comportment and Formation Apprenticeship, to organize the course content. A distinction is made between the mere application of technical knowledge and the productive use of knowledge in actual clinical practice (a higher-order form of situated thinking). Preceptor pedagogies for success include situated coaching, clinical scenarios, and debriefing skills. Canvas™ houses the virtual learning classroom, and course content is divided into (4) modules, each with a corresponding synchronous Zoom workshop.

The following nine competencies are essential for the clinical nurse preceptor to utilize for success in the teaching role.

Diagnosing and managing clinical conditions.
The skilled know-how of managing a crisis.
Providing comfort measures for patients, families, and communities.
