We are delighted to announce the development of the Endocrine Nurses Society's Preceptor Program. ENS is committed to the promotion of excellence in nursing practice through the advancement of the science and art of endocrine nursing. One of the main goals of ENS is to facilitate the flow of relevant information to all endocrine nurses as well as promote educational programs for new and experienced nurses. There are many nurses new to the field of endocrinology that have expressed a desire to learn the necessary skills to become competent in adult endocrine nursing. For this reason, the Education Committee of ENS has developed the Preceptor Program. All participants in the program must be members of ENS.
Fellow nurses, physicians, colleagues, and/or pharmaceutical representatives will identify a nurse new to the specialty. The new nurse (Preceptee) will receive information about ENS and the Preceptor Program. The Preceptee will be invited to visit the experienced nurse's (Preceptor) site for 1 to 2 days. This visit will enable the Preceptor to orient the new nurse to an endocrine specialty, nursing care specific to the adult endocrine patient, teaching specific to this patient population, and long-term management of patients. The Preceptor Program was developed as an observational and informational tool to provide accurate and comprehensive clinical information to a nurse new to the field of endocrinology.
This visit is observational only.
