Abstract
This article describes how faculty at the University of North Carolina along with extensive statewide nursing input by a Cardiovascular Curriculum Task Force dealt with the issues of access to Cardiac Care Educational Courses and availability of qualified cardiac instructor-preceptors in rural communities of North Carolina. The Cardiac Preceptor Model expanded resource in education and practice by the creation of a cardiac preceptor network in the rural areas of the stale. During one-year follow-up of the first class of cardiac preceptors, approximately 276 nurses were educated by 10 nurse preceptors. As more cardiac preceptors were educated, the number of nurses prepared in cardiac care continued to increase. Mobility of cardiac preceptors was enhanced because they received similar educational background based on standardized content in curriculum prepared by the Cardiovascular Curriculum Task Force.
