Abstract
While developing a standardized approach to orient new staff in the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research Burn Center at Fort Sam Houston in Texas, nurse leaders identified the need to also standardize preceptor selection and instruction. A multidisciplinary research team conducted a two-year pilot project based on the evidence-based Vermont Nurses in Partnership Clinical Transition Framework, which provides a structured method for preceptor selection, development, and evaluation. Minimum preceptor qualifications; preceptor validation processes; and modifiable, unit-specific coaching tools were established. The authors previously published a description of the preceptor program implementation process and their findings. In this article, they discuss lessons learned during the project, highlighting the challenges and obstacles encountered when implementing this preceptorship program.
