Nurse Educators Interest Group

Preceptorship for Excellence

In 2002 a group of nurse educators from several upper North Island District Health Boards (DHBs) met to share information and gain support from each other. The New Zealand Nurse Educators’ (NZNE) was formed to formalise this idea into a working group and one purpose of the group was to attempt to establish consistency and transportability of in-house education programmes.

A subgroup of the NZNE developed a generic preceptorship framework allowing for flexibility and transportability for DHBs to utilise to meet the learning needs of all preceptees. 

The framework includes the underlying principles of a robust preceptorship programme; a suggested application process; learning contract; learning outcomes; programme content; recommended literature and an evaluation process.
