Preceptor selection and evaluation: a tool for educators and managers.

Abstract

The preceptor concept has been cited extensively in the literature, although few measurable tools for preceptor identification, selection, and evaluation have been documented. This article describes a tool designed to assist in the selection of unit preceptors. The tool also provides an evaluation method for preceptors and identifies areas for future preceptor development when used on an annual basis.

Hospitals' responses to nurse staffing shortages.

Hospitals have used a mix of short-term and long-term strategies to deal with nurse shortages, particularly efforts emphasizing nurse education, competitive compensation, and temporary staff. Interviews with health care leaders from Round Five of the Community Tracking Study indicate that these activities, in conjunction with other factors, have assisted in reducing shortages of hospital nurses. However, hospitals' actions have increased costs and raised concerns about their potential impact on patient care. Additionally, a large degree of doubt exists among hospitals about their ability to meet future nursing needs.
