Acting as a preceptor for new nurses in busy clinical settings is a challenging role.
Educational and mental preparation of less experienced preceptors is important.
New nurse preceptors feel helplessness in the absence of support and external rewards.
Getting reprimanded in the preceptorship role in the absence of favorable conditions is very stressful and unjust by the preceptors.
Preceptorship should be the shared responsibility of all the members involved.
