Abstract
Orienting new nursing staff is costly for health care organizations. Identifying preceptor characteristics and structuring preceptor education to support those characteristics may improve the orientation process and decrease orientation cost. A descriptive, observational study identified preferred characteristics of potential preceptors (N = 39) in a long-term care/subacute facility. Results showed that mean ranks of three items on the preceptor instrument were significant, thus providing insight regarding content and desired outcome of preceptor education.
