“…This may account for the differences between the lengths of precepting time for perioperative and nonperioperative preceptors because perioperative preceptees often work with more than one preceptor. In fact, some perianesthesia preceptees prefer to remain in one area (ie, preoperative unit, PACU, phase II discharge unit) until they are proficient before transitioning to orienting in another area, even if it means working with multiple preceptors 24 …”

“…In a pilot study, researchers explored preceptee preferences for remaining in one perianesthesia area (ie, preoperative unit, PACU, phase II discharge unit) with multiple preceptors to achieve competence versus remaining with a designated preceptor throughout orientation and working in the various areas based on that preceptor's assignment 24 . Some preceptees preferred remaining in one area with multiple preceptors to establish a routine and prevent confusion; however, preceptors were challenged to know the preceptee's level of competence.…”

Preceptors are an important part of meeting perioperative workforce demands. A secondary analysis of data collected for the 2020 Association for Nursing Professional Development National Preceptor Practice Analysis Study focused on 400 perioperative nurse preceptors and compared their responses to nonperioperative preceptors. Most perioperative respondents had participated in preceptor training; they spent significantly more time orienting experienced nurse preceptees in the perioperative specialty and its diverse settings (eg, orthopedic surgery, open-heart surgery) than preceptors in nonperioperative settings and specialties. Perioperative preceptors spent significantly less time precepting students, suggesting the presence of an opportunity to address the nursing shortage by promoting student exposure to the perioperative setting. To align with the AORN position statements on orientation and nurse residencies, perioperative nurse leaders should ensure that properly educated preceptors are available to assist RNs who are transitioning to perioperative practice. The Ulrich Precepting Model provides an evidence-based framework for preceptor training.
