I pulled together a concise preceptor toolkit we’ve been using for the last 6 weeks on our cardiac and ortho pods: day-one goals, a 3-step feedback script, and a pocket PACU handoff card. If you want the editable files or have versions you like better, reply here — I’m always looking to trade practical tools that make mentorship smoother and safer.
And when ‘missing hemostats’, I lace umbilical tape through collar holes to harness — no escapes, supervised.
Love the “pocket PACU handoff card” — we added a tiny QR that pulls up our I-PASS blurb because rambly handoffs drive me nuts… For day-one goals, I write them on the room whiteboard so the attending and SRNA can reference them and it makes the 3-step feedback feel less scripted; caveat, after day 2 I switch to two open-ended prompts to keep it natural. Happy to trade files — want the badge-back template?
