Preceptors

If you are interested in serving as an IU Columbus nursing preceptor, we want to talk with you. To be considered for a preceptorship, you must:

• Have at least 18 months of experience as a licensed RN
• Hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree
• Complete required training online or onsite

Preceptor training can be completed in two ways:

1. Online modules
2. In-person training onsite at your facility

To request onsite training, please call 812-348-7250 or e-mail  conurs@iu.edu.

Healthcare employers often  utilize a structured framework for promotions and obtaining raises in the organization. You may be familiar with terms like "clinical ladder" to describe the framework in which nurses can climb higher in your organization. By meeting the requirements of education, CEUs, committee work, community service, and other benchmarks, employers assess your commitment to the organization and the profession.

Indiana University Division of Health Sciences at IU Columbus can assist you in meeting those requirements. If you serve as a preceptor to one or more of our students for at least two semesters, you can apply for non-paid adjunct faculty status. And, while the position is not a paid one, it does demonstrate your commitment to BSN nursing education.

Please contact Adjunct Coordinator Meredith Stewart at 812-348-7249 or e-mail merestew@iu.edu for additional information and to obtain the application for adjunct faculty status.
