(2)

2 Welcome

Thank you for being a preceptor and contributing to the clinical education of University of South Florida College of Nursing students. We greatly appreciate the time and energy you spend as well as the expertise you provide our students, and recognize that you make a significant difference in preparing outstanding clinical nurse leaders. We have prepared this document to use as a reference guide for your role, as well as the roles of the faculty and student. It also serves as the basis for a signed agreement between you, the College of Nursing, and the student.

Master’s Program Clinical Nurse Leader Concentration Preceptor Orientation

The Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) concentration of the Master’s Program consists of 41 hours of study; 24 hours are core theory and science; 12 hours are CNL courses (on-line), and 5 hours are clinical residency. The residency experiences are partially embedded in three 1-credit courses, where the student completes 100 clinical hours over the course of three sequential semesters. In the spring semester, students complete a unit assessment and negotiate their “CNL Project” with their unit manager or designee (NGR 6770c). In the second semester (summer), the student plans the project and begins implementation (NGR 6872c). In the final semester, the student completes the project and prepares the results for poster presentation (NGR 6777c). The student also completes a 300 hour clinical immersion in the CNL role during the final semester (NGR 6773L). Each residency experience varies according to the student’s site of placement, the individual learning needs, and objectives based on the residency contract. The College faculty member will provide guidelines for the experience students need for their clinical residency and CNL project (if applicable). These guidelines usually include the course syllabus, residency contract, and criteria for evaluation. College faculty will also provide an office telephone number, email address, and evaluation consultations. You can expect the CON faculty to conduct at least one “site visit” to meet with you and the student.
