3The Preceptor Training Handbook is intended to be used as a teaching guide for nurse educators, preceptor trainers, nurse managers, and nursing administration in order to enhance clinical teaching of preceptors with the use of education theories. Preceptors assist new nurses to develop critical-thinking skills for quality and safe patient care, serve as role models, and mentors during nurse orientation. The utilization of proper teaching techniques in clinical teaching encompassing spirituality, evaluation, supervision, humor, enthusiasm, and emotional intelligence is discussed in the content of this book.
