Article Abstract

We redesigned our nurse preceptor program to meet workforce demands and enhance preceptor satisfaction by addressing gaps in training, support, recognition, and rewards. Guided by the Advisory Board's The Preceptor Toolkit and accredited transition program standards, key improvements included the creation of a Preceptor Program Manager role, preceptor training curriculum updates, expanded continuing education, and increased preceptor incentives. These evidence-based strategies aligned the program with best practices, strengthened preceptor engagement, and fostered retention.
