Dear Colleagues:

As the concentration coordinators for the Master of Science in Nursing Regents Online Degree Program, we would like to thank you for sharing your expertise with our students as a preceptor. The overall goal of the preceptorship is to allow students to gain advanced practice experience while working with experts in the field.

The benefits obtained from precepted assignments cannot be underestimated. The use of preceptors is a viable and important part of advanced practice nursing education. Learning from the experiences of a cadre of experts is one of the most effective ways to advance professionally, or develop the skills needed to be an effective advanced practice nurse. As a preceptor, you serve a very important function in the education of our students.

The faculty values your service as a preceptor and welcomes your recommendations. The student’s clinical faculty will contact you during the semester to discuss the student’s performance and progress. If at any time, you need assistance or have questions, please contact either of us. Thank you again for your commitment to nursing education.
