Abstract

New graduate RNs (NGRNs) may experience difficulties in their transition to independent practice. The main role of preceptors is to guide, validate, and supervise the care that NGRNs provide. However, preceptors may not receive training to serve in the role. A literature review of the past 5 years was conducted, with 10 articles meeting the inclusion criteria to analyze the effects of preceptor training on NGRN outcomes. Ten studies indicated a range of positive effects of preceptor training on NGRN transition experiences and organizational outcomes, including critical thinking and retention. Findings on NGRNs' stress levels are contradictory and ambiguous. A variety of positive outcomes can be realized for NGRNs who partner with formally trained preceptors.
