ForwardModule 7: Yes, Back to Benner for Preceptor Development
Patricia Benner, PhD., R.N., FAAN, FRCN is a nursing theorist who introduced the "From Novice to Expert” model. Dr Benner’s model consists of 5 stages of nursing expertise: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient and expert. Each stage of nursing expertise builds on the previous one, as a nurse gains experience and develops clinical skills over time, through experience, and by drawing on a sound education base. In this module, the learner will review each of the stages and reflect on the learning needs and recommended teaching strategies to use, to support preceptées and preceptors in developing competency. This model serves as a tool for clinical nurse educators and preceptors to use when guiding and supporting the nurse transitioning to practice and a new role. By applying this model the clinical educator and preceptor can assist the preceptée in advancing to the next competency level.
