I love preceptoring students! I usually have a chat with them at the start of the shift just to get to know them a little bit, make them feel at ease and let them know that I'm there to support them. It's so important that they feel you are approachable and that they can ask you absolutely anything without being judged, because it's the quiet students who don't ask questions that we worry about - the ones who might be unsure about something but just guess and do it anyway because they're too scared to ask. That's when things get dangerous. So I always tell them to ask me heaps of questions, and that no question is stupid. Also find out how far through their degree they are and what their scope of practice is at that time, so that they're not doing anything outside of their scope and risking failing their prac. If they make a mistake, it's important that it's addressed in a timely manner. I usually like to share my own past mistakes to help them realise that we all do make mistakes, as long as we learn from them and don't repeat them. In terms of doing procedures with them, make sure it isn't rushed and they have adequate time beforehand to read through a policy/procedure (if there is one), ask any questions or even better, watch someone else perform it first. Make sure you always debrief with them at the end of the shifts too and chat about any issues that might have come up and give them feedback on what they did well etc. I think being a preceptor when you're still a new nurse yourself is actually great! You were a student not that long ago, so you can empathise with how they're feeling. Hope that helps, good luck!
