  • 1.  Preceptor Training

    Posted 01-03-2026 03:09

    Hello, 

    I was reaching out to see if anyone has a preceptor program or training they are using to prepare your preceptors to give new hires the best experience possible. 

    Thanks for your insight.

    Hi Brooke,

    Have you looked at the preceptor guide that AAACN has in their bookstore? We are currently building a program using this as the scaffolding. It is really comprehensive and goes along nicely with the orientation guide that AAACN put out.

    Thank you, Torie, for your response.

    Here is the link to the Orientation and Assessment Guide that Torie mentioned in her post. - Store - Ambulatory Care Nursing Orientation and Competency Assessment Guide 3rd edition, 2018 - AAACN Portal
