Beschreibung
This book answered the primary research question regarding what perceptions preceptors had about the knowledge and ability of new nurses who had their clinical experiences in a dedicated education unit (DEU) to perform basic nursing skills safely and independently. The study took place on a 24-bed, cardiology progressive care dedicated education unit (DEU) in a southern rural hospital. The method of collecting data was eight in-depth, face-to-face, semi-structured, recorded interviews of registered nurses who have been nurse preceptors in a hospital setting within the last year and had a minimum of one years experience as a nurse in a hospital. Six basic themes emerged: the benefits of hands on experience versus observation, the development of trust between the DEU student and the preceptor, and the importance of continuity of care. The other themes were the advantage of learning evidence-based practice from an up-to-date, experienced nurse currently working in a hospital, the effective transfer of book knowledge to bedside nursing, and the ability to critically think, and analyze how one body system affects another system.
Autorenporträt
Although I studied to be an elementary school teacher, I soon learned I preferred teaching adults. I returned to school and found my true calling in nursing. I work as an obstetrical nurse in a hospital as well as teaching clinicals to nurses for a local university and also teach nursing on-line.
