    Could someone share if your AMB space offers preceptor pay?

    Jeanette, what is your organization and what are the identified barriers to move forward with preceptor pay?

    I work for St. Luke's Medical Group in Chesterfield, Mo. Unfortunately, the leadership team I have is not supportive of it although they have preceptor pay for RN's in the hospital, the medical group leadership has not approved it.

    We offer preceptor pay at our facility. I believe its a couple dollars per hour. I don't think it's enough to make people want to be a preceptor but it is enough to notice for those that are willing to precept. In my opinion, it's a fine line because if you do too much you'll get people wanting to precept that you don't WANT precepting your new employees.

    Thank you Becky for sharing. VCU HS AMB is attempting to move forward with preceptor pay. Looking for early adopters that have already and willing to share their experience(s).

    We do not offer preceptor pay.  However, our MA's are starting to refuse to precept and are starting to ask for pay.  We try to give them "bonus" dollars, but the practice is inconsistent.  We are going to need to figure it out, because we need our Preceptors.

    We offer a financial incentive. The interested team member must fill out an application and get a signature from the practice manager and a provider that they work with directly.  We also offer a  one time mandatory 4 hour class that discusses communication, good vs bad onboarding, personality differences, learning style, how to give feedback... professionalism all sorts of different topics.  The graduates receive a preceptor pin and certificate. We have had a positive response.

    Thank you all for sending information along. This is amazing sharing. I’m advocating for VCU AMB to implement this practice, too often we are precepting new hires—-creating burnout and dislike for precepting .

    In good faith, I’d imagine preceptor pay would enrich the experience and encourage seasoned nurses to actively engage and participate.

    We offer preceptor pay at our organization for nurses that precept. Nurses have to apply to be a preceptor and take an initial 8 hours class, and then a yearly 4 hour class to keep current and receive the incentive.

    I am curious about medical assistant preceptor pay.. Is any one willing to share if they do this, and if so what are the requirements?

    Also wondering if there is any incentive for precepting nursing students. I know that it is very difficult for nursing schools to find placements and preceptors. With the increase in community clinicals, we are receiving more and more requests in the ambulatory setting to take on nursing students, but there is currently no monetary incentive for nurses to take on precepting nursing students. It is difficult to find enough placements for these requests that are being made. But we do know that nursing students that have a positive experience at our organization in their clinical placements often end up applying for jobs at our organization once they graduate.

    Thank you Lindsey for sharing your response. We are on the cusp of spreading preceptor pay to ambulatory space, to include medical assistance.

    The orientee must be a clinician I-IV, for preceptor pay to be offered in acute care settings. Preceptor pay does not exist in ambulatory care currently.

    We do not offer preceptor pay at our facility. We have what are referred to as Functional Statements and the role of preceptor is a requirement. However, we were able to finally host an event to recognize the outstanding work our preceptors do by hosting a luncheon. We gave them badge buddies that identify them as preceptors and they were very appreciative.  We are hoping to make this an annual event.

    Great recognition program Eleanor.

    Has there been any impact to employee engagement surveys within your organization as a result of recognizing those that precept?

    Preceptor pay in ambulatory care has been an item of discussion many times on our training team meeting agenda.  As a FQHC, we are almost always running with in the red( not meeting budget).  Offering an incentive is something our company would love to do, we have discussed a plan to include some sort of compensation even if it is a quarterly bonus for those who precepted for so many hours in the quarter- they would get something...  Again, we are looking into this, but nothing solid at this time.
     
    I am glad to see others are trying to compensate their superstars who are taking the time to teach our new people the ropes.

    Any thing or ideas people have to help us device a plan that A) won't be unreasonable and unattainable, B) something that shows our staff we appreciate them, is greatly appreciated.
