Course Overview

Nursing programmes partner with several clinical practice sites to provide nursing students with expert clinical training. This partnership aims to prepare students to provide patients with quality care. The staff registered nurses (RNs) in these practice sites provide student nurses with a rich clinical learning experience within a challenging yet safe learning environment. That is where the Essential Competencies for Nurse Preceptors online course comes in.

Many clinical practice sites have programmes that train RNs to precept new employees, but most of these programmes do not include any preparation for working specifically with student nurses. The Essential Competencies for Nurse Preceptors course by edX is designed to train registered nurses to construct rich, effective, and high-quality learning experiences.RNs, also known as, Nurse Preceptors, who participate in programmes like this report more satisfaction and confidence in their role as preceptors. That translates into the student’s learning outcomes as well.

The seven-week Essential Competencies for Nurse Preceptors training has an intermediate-level curriculum. The programme is developed by the University of Maryland School of Nursing, an institute accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Centre’s Commission on Accreditation. The institute is a provider of continuing nursing education.
