Our dear Leanne Rowand has been awarded the UVIC NP Preceptor of the Year Award. She was nominated by a student, and seconded by the entire NP Committee as exemplifying the best in preceptorship.She share this award with nurse practitioner Tracey Adams.
Each year as appropriate, the NP Program Subcommittee will recognize a preceptor to receive the NP Program Preceptor-of-the-Year Award to be presented at the Nursing Week Alumni Luncheon. Each person recognized will have made a consistent and substantial contribution to NP student learning during at least one preceding year of the nomination date. Contributions might include such things as:
- going over and above expectations in promoting student learning and achievement
- serving as an outstanding role model for NP practice
- promoting the NP role among colleagues
- demonstrating excellence in teaching/learning as a preceptor
If you go to the School of Nursing website (http://nursing.uvic.ca/), you can take a look at last year’s recipient.
This year, for the first time, UVIC is recognizing two preceptors for outstanding mentorship of NP students. It’s been a great year for student learning. As previously mentioned Leanne will share the award with her colleague, nurse practitioner Tracey Adams.
