The North Carolina Area Health Education Center (NCAHEC) is offering a live webinar that will build upon the 2023 teaching strategies for the experienced nurse preceptor. This year we will take a deep dive into generational differences and strategies to foster communication, techniques/strategies to utilize when precepting someone from a different generation and / or someone with more experience and explain how to address the experience complexity gap in nursing. Learn from a panel of experienced preceptors how to handle challenges and how to advance preceptor skills in today’s healthcare environment.  Join us!

Medical and hospital staff often encounter ethical tensions in practice arising from understandings of relevant law, as well as from a variety of other sources such as institutional policy, risk avoidance, financial concerns, professional guidelines, and political influences.

We will invite you to explore strategies for navigating situations in which your professional and personal integrity are challenged by examining common and pressing issues arising at the intersections of ethics and law. Join us!

This workshop will provide an opportunity for dialogue about the application of EBPs (e.g., MI) into practice.
