Preceptorship PN

Preceptorship assists students to transition to registered practical nursing practice in Ontario. Students have opportunities in a praxis setting to consolidate theory and practice with the guidance of a clinical mentor/preceptor. Students build upon previous learning to enhance their competence and independence in professional practice in accordance with professional standards, policies, and guidelines. During this capstone experience, students focus on strengthening their assessment skills, clinical judgment, intraprofessional and interprofessional collaboration, and developing leadership skills. At the completion of the course, the student will meet the College of Nurses of Ontario Entry-to-Practice Competencies for Registered Practical Nurses.
