Preceptors...Who were the good ones?

Hello again!

If you guys had a great experience with your preceptor I would like to know who they were and what you liked about him/her! Most of my experience had been at Dameron and one stint at Lodi so I haven't been exposed to many of the possible candidates. I've heard of a few, but I would appreciate any guidance you could share with me. It would be a great help. Thanks for anything you can provide! hcolern2b@gmail.com

My cousin is an RN in LA, she did a summer youth camp last year, she was the camp nurse...and she loved it.

There are so many oppurtunites for camp nurse, if you are interested here's the link...I am thinking about doing one this summer, before I start working in the hospital.

If you see that someone is missing, please either retrieve some pictures of that person as you are still in clinicals, or ask that person to submit some to Cher. A final slide show will be completed with the list of students, and it will be assured that each and every one of you will be represented into the slide show.


Again, this is not the final slide show. Cher will let you all know when it is completed.

Get those pictures in, as soon as you can, so she can get this done please.

Thank you
