Mastering the Art of Precepting: Insights from Dr. Beth Ulrich

What happens when a new nurse is suddenly asked to teach others? For Dr. Beth Ulrich, it launched a lifelong mission to redefine precepting. Drawing from her Mastering Precepting series, she shares why great preceptors do more than teach—they lead, coach, protect, and inspire. Dr. Ulrich challenges the idea that any skilled nurse can precept, sharing a student’s simple but powerful question: “Why can’t you put us with nurses who like students?” Her insights highlight the importance of intentional selection, preparation, and ongoing support for preceptors. From building professional identity to supporting nurses through career transitions, this episode offers practical, evidence-based strategies for developing strong, sustainable preceptor programs.
