Nursing Development
Staff Responsible for the Nursing Development Programs:
Preceptorship
Preceptorship Model
Please find attached the RCH Preceptorship Model.
The MNEDC provides programs and workshops for new and experienced preceptors.
Preceptorship Program
The aim of the Preceptorship Program is to assist new preceptors in developing foundation skills to support the transition of nurses into a new area of practice. The Preceptorship Program provides foundation theoretical knowledge with a focus on developing skills and providing strategies for managing the practical aspects of preceptorship. It is highly interactive and requires active participation on behalf of the learner. The Preceptorship Program will be offered in two ways in 2010, either over one day, or as a series of monthly modules.
Please note: The Preceptorship program days and modules are based around group participation. If less than three participants enrol, the program day/module will be cancelled. We would remind those who wish to attend a module to please RSVP to mackinnon.education@rch.org.au. Those who wish to attend a program day are asked to complete the application form below. This will allow us to forward plan and advise participants if the session will be cancelled due to low numbers.
Preceptors who have previously completed the program may attend any modules they feel may assist their ongoing development.

Person Centred Nursing Index (PCNI)
The PCNI is a 115 item survey designed to explore domains of practice and caring. The PCNI has been distributed systematically with data analysed and fed back in a timely fashion utilising collaborative and participative approaches. All clinical areas have completed Year 1 with that report now available. The PCNI is being repeated in 2009 and again in 2010. Further information about the PCNI, including the Year One Report is available through the Intranet.

PCNI at the RCH (Intranet only)
For further details regarding the PCNI please contact Danielle Mee.
Observations of Practice
The Nursing Development Team is actively involved in supporting nurses in clinical areas to undertake observations of practice as a means of collecting data to reflect on what is working well and areas that require improvement. To discuss ways in which observations of practice might be undertaken, please contact Sally Hicks.
Patient, Family and Staff Stories
Protocols have been developed for the collection of patient, family and staff stories to inform practice. The collection and analysis of these stories will add another layer of complexity to the data available for nurses to explore and evolve their practice. For further details regarding stories please contact Danielle Mee.
