Abstract
Background: Faculty can support successful preceptor-led clinical experiences by providing registered nurses with educational resources to guide them in the preceptor role.
Purpose: To upgrade our institution's educational resources using an online platform that enables just-in-time access.
Method: This was a quality improvement project to create and implement an educational resource tool kit for prelicensure nursing preceptors.
Results: Half of our preceptors (n = 46, 52%) had no formal preceptor education. The preceptors used all the resources and were satisfied with the tool kit's content and ease of use.
Conclusion: Implementing the tool kit was feasible. Further development includes ( a ) adding content regarding diverse students and trauma-informed nursing care, ( b ) incorporating interactive educational materials, ( c ) exploring avenues to reduce cognitive load, ( d ) creating a prelicensure preceptor preparation course, and ( e ) considering avenues for providing open access for nursing faculty of prelicensure programs.
