4 Benefits of Becoming a Preceptor

As a preceptor, you help the next generation of RNs and advanced practice RNs translate classroom learning into hands on patient care.

You’re supporting your profession, watching them gain confidence in practice, and you may even learn a few things—new nurses are full of fresh ideas. But beyond the altruistic good feelings, here are 4 benefits of precepting at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing.

#4 You’ll have access to our Preceptor portal, which includes 4 free learning modules:
