Here are your next steps:

  • Step 1 - Navigate to the appropriate facility where your practicum for NUR4828C Essentials of Healthcare Leadership and Management will take place.
  • Step 2 - Read through each step to ensure you fully understand the on-boarding process. These steps were decided by the facility and must be adhered.
  • Step 3 - Get matched with your Preceptor (depending on the facility, this will happen by pre-assignment or the student will be responsible for securing a Preceptor; follow the facility's instructions)


Who is the best Preceptor for this experience?
The best Preceptor will be a BSN or higher prepared nurse in a leadership role and corresponding job title.  S/he will introduce the student to members of the facility's leadership team and help the student coordinate one-on-one interviews, meeting observations, and job shadow experiences with clinical and non-clinical managers for a total of 10 verified hours of on-site learning. 

The Preceptor will assist the student in shared and reflective discussion on observed behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs.  Please note, sites have varied processes related to matching an employee/student with a Preceptor.  Some sites match students directly, others require students to initiate and coordinate a Preceptor match.  Also, being an employee does not differentiate nor expedite the student on-boarding process due to overarching facility policies.  Ultimately, it is the student's job to ensure the selected Preceptor is adequate to meet course requirements. 

NUR 4828C requires the following special assignments, which your Preceptor will help you to coordinate and achieve, as part of the 10 hours of on-site experiential learning:

  • Organization assessment
  • 3 Interviews with managers/directors
    • Nursing leader/manager
    • Non-Nursing leader/manager
    • Non-Clinical director/manager
    • 2 Meetings/Committees related to quality and patient safety, leadership, or demonstrate the style of communication in the organization
    • Other experiences to meet the 10 hour requirement, i.e. job shadowing (2 hours maximum), other related interviews, meetings, etc.
    • Hours are suggested to be completed through the duration of the semester, but can also be completed based upon the needs of the student and site/Preceptor
  • Full details on class requirements found here: (Practicum Guidelines)

Sample activities during this 10-hour practicum experience:

  • Interview with the Director of Social Services
  • Interview with the Chief Nurse Officer (CNO)
  • Observing a meeting of the hospital’s leadership team
  • Observing a meeting of the Quality and Patient Safety Committee at the hospital

Important Notes about student-Preceptor matching:

  • Should be a BSN or higher prepared nurse in a leadership role such as a Nurse Manager, House Supervisor, Advanced Practice Nurse, Director of Nursing Service

  • Generally CANNOT be your direct supervisor on your floor/unit.
    Why? Because facilities sometimes view this as a conflict of interest and/or perceived favoritism within the existing team/unit. The advantage here is that you can truly take advantage of being a student in this experience and secure a Preceptor who would not normally be available or accessible to you. Be your own self-advocate. If you do not feel the Preceptor match is adequate to meet course requirements, please contact Ms. Jyoti Rao to discuss your concerns.

  • Generally CANNOT be a charge nurse, staff nurse, or bedside nurse.
    Why? Because these roles are typically rotating positions not involving heavy managerial duties which cannot provide the best learning experience for students.

  • Some sites will not pre-arrange Preceptor matches and will require students to find and secure a Preceptor. If this is the case with your facility, see below for suggested steps to secure an adequate Preceptor match:

Suggested Steps to Secure a Preceptor if the STUDENT is Responsible for Preceptor Matching:

  • Step 1: Reach out to your facility's Education Department. If your facility doesn't have a department that does this function, your Human Resources Department can provide you with the typical recommended process.
  • Step 2: Identify a BSN or higher prepared individual who functions in a leadership role and has a leadership/management related title.
    Example Preceptor titles are: Nurse Manager, House Supervisor, Advanced Practice Nurse, Unit/Floor Directors.
  • Step 3: Reach out to the individual you identified with an introductory phone call or email with the following: Your current program enrollment (RN to BS at USF); share the Course and Preceptor Information; and ask if s/he would be willing to be your Preceptor.
    Make your request personal and include as much detail about the requirements as possible.
    A typical time frame to reach out to a possible Preceptor with your request is 2 months before the semester begins in order to allow the Preceptor adequate time to get necessary training from the facility's Education Department/HR department on being a Preceptor.
  • Follow up as needed with your outreach attempts to ensure you meet posted deadlines. If you have any problems please reach jyotirao@health.usf.edu for assistance.

  • The name of the city you were born in
  • Manager's name
  • The last four digits of your SS#
  • Date of birth
  • TGH employee badge # (so the student badge can be cross-referenced)

**If you have a student badge that has expired, please provide the number of your student badge instead**

Step 2: Finding a Preceptor--Tampa General Hospital requires students to secure their own preceptor, this means the facility does not provide their preceptor. If you need assistance in choosing a preceptor, you can contact Terri Ford. Her email is tlford@tgh.org and her number is 813-844-8533.

Step 3: Additional Requirements

  • Per TGH procedures, you will need to complete student assignments in MindLab, even if your hours are only observational.
    • There is a MindLab account assigned to all students which should have general on-boarding e-Learning’s. The RN-BS students do not need epic training as their role will not require that type of access. If anyone in the RN-BS program was assigned Epic e-Learning's and/or class they can be ignored.
  • Do not use employee codes or log-ons, including EPIC, while on site for student hours
  • Professional/ business casual with a lab coat is the preferred attire while completing student hours. TGH scrubs should not be worn during this time.
