Margo is back with Adrianne for part 2 of their discussion on precepting senior nursing students. In this episode recorded in May 2020, they talk about starting the new semester with new students when COVID hit the United States hard. They talk about their experiences and the effects of COVID-19 upon nursing programs and students, and how clinical sites and preceptors have adapted to the challenge. 

Among the topics they cover are:

-How patient acuity and hospital policies have changed

-Safety implications and our responsibility to ourselves, students, and patients

-Early PPE restrictions

-How ICU cross-training has affected preceptorships

-Strategies for precepting: Per patient vs tasking

-Importance of experience vs the risk of exposure

-Perks and pitfalls of PPE

-And their plans and hopes as preceptors in future semesters

This conversation moves fast and you’ll glean a lot from their experiences.
