Recruiting and retaining preceptors is a major challenge for nurse practitioner (NP) programs. The purpose of this project was to identify preceptor rewards that may foster NP preceptor recruitment and retention at one university. Seventy preceptors were surveyed regarding their reward preferences using rewards identified in the literature and among regional NP programs. The most preferred rewards included continuing education credits, professional growth opportunities, maintaining professional relationships with the university, and financial remuneration. To provide NP students with positive and effective clinical experiences, it is essential that NP program leaders understand preceptors' preferences and commit to preceptor support.
招募和留住带教老师是执业护士（NP）项目面临的一项重大挑战。本项目的目的是确定可能有助于一所大学招募和留住NP带教老师的奖励措施。我们使用文献中以及地区NP项目中确定的奖励措施，对70名带教老师进行了关于他们奖励偏好的调查。最受欢迎的奖励包括继续教育学分、职业发展机会、与大学保持专业关系以及经济报酬。为了给NP学生提供积极有效的临床实习经历，NP项目负责人了解带教老师的偏好并致力于为带教老师提供支持至关重要。
