Evaluation of an Innovative Statewide Nurse Preceptor Education Program.
Background: In Maine's rapidly changing and often uncertain health care environment, skilled nurses who precept nursing students, new nurses, and transitioning nurses can play an important role in supporting the nursing workforce.
Method: An evaluation of the Maine Nursing Preceptor Education Program was conducted via collection and quantitative analysis of three waves of cross-sectional cohort data from 2019 and 2020 participants: (a) pre-program surveys, (b) post-workshop evaluations, and (c) 3-month post-program evaluations.
Results: The pre-program survey indicated that registrants were predominantly mid-career and new to nurse preceptor education. The post-workshop evaluation showed significant increases in respondent confidence in knowledge, skill, and ability in eight nurse preceptor domains (mean improvement > 20%, p < .001). At the 3-month post-program evaluation, most respondents had assumed the nurse preceptor role and indicated an interest in continuing professional development.
Conclusion: The Maine Nursing Preceptor Education Program was successful within Maine and can serve as a model for other programs. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2025;56(4):152-157.].
