Oct. 18 — Faculty present on preceptor shortage at national conference
Vanndy Loth, Lynda Creighton-Wong and Stacey Green presented the study, "Exploring Motivations and Barriers: A Qualitative Study of Precepting Among Current Advanced Practice Nurses in Behavioral Health," at the Annual American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) Educational Conference in New Orleans Oct. 15-18. Vanndy and Lynda lead the UC Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certificate Program at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis. Stacey, who is based in Southern California, is a preceptor for the program. Along with program faculty co-authors Janet Meda and Elizabeth Rice, their study looked into the ongoing shortage of quality preceptors for PHMNP students. The team is investigating how to recruit and retain preceptors by looking at motivations and barriers to precepting. APNA is a member-driven community that advances the science and education of psychiatric-mental health nursing.
