Preceptor Information
Requirements
- RN with a Baccalaureate Degree
- Current Board Certification
- At least one (1) year of full-time clinical experience as a WOC Nurse post certification
- Sufficient patient census to provide needed learning experiences - this must be documented by simple statistics.
Most clinical sites require an Affiliation Agreement with Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. The WOCNEC will work with the appropriate individuals in your identified clinical agency to establish the agreement. Establishment of an affiliation agreement can take as long as 6 months, so it is critical for us to get this information as soon as possible.
