Year 4 Preceptors

We continually seek RNs in both hospital and community settings to precept our fourth year nursing students. We are appreciative of the nurses who are willing to mentor their future colleagues. The opportunity for students to synthesize the knowledge that they have gained during the BScN program and apply that knowledge to practice is made possible through the guidance and teaching that they receive from these professional nursing experts.

If you are interested in being a preceptor, please inform your unit manager or supervisor, or contact Katharine Maclean, Clinical Placement Coordinator at katharine.maclean@uwindsor.ca or 519.253.3000, x4814. Your preceptorship will be acknowledged by the University and our collaborative partners at St. Clair and Lambton Colleges, and may be included in your CNO Reflective Practice Portfolio.

Preceptors are strongly advised to take the online Preceptor Education Program.
