New OR nurses excel as champions and preceptors
Tapping incoming or newly graduated OR nurses as champions and preceptors for initiatives works quite well, say some OR leaders. Though less experienced than their peers, these nurses bring to the table up-to-date knowledge, energy, a fresh set of eyes, and comfort with new technology. In turn, making them experts and giving them responsibility boosts their confidence, garners respect from colleagues, facilitates team building, and positions them for career advancement and leadership roles.
