Common use of PRECEPTEE Clause in Contracts

PRECEPTEE. A preceptee is a nurse (e.g., a resident nurse, a nurse entering a training position or a nurse who transfers to a unit for which the nurse has not met the competencies of the unit) who is assigned a preceptor. A preceptee shall be responsible for the direct care of a limited number of patients, commensurate with the preceptee’s progress towards competency. 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.
