Students should meet with their faculty advisor and identify one or more immersion preceptors to guide their immersion experiences in the DNE 8781, 8538, 8998.01, and 8998.02 courses. Appropriate preceptors are mentors for the DNE immersion experiences and should be experts within their organization, their population, the EBP/QI process, or the project topic. These include but are not limited to the following: nurse educator leaders and executives, nursing professional development specialists and leaders, skilled informaticists, leaders in health policy development, and leaders from other disciplines with expertise relevant to the DNE student’s track and immersion objectives. The preferred criterion for selection is that the preceptor/mentor holds a senior leadership role in the immersion environment. Ideally, preceptors/mentors will hold a doctorate; however, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis. The preceptor/mentor must not be an immediate supervisor for the student.
The student is responsible for providing the preceptors’ contact information on the DNE Preceptor Agreement Form. In addition, please provide the Clinical Placement office with a copy of your Preceptor’s CV/resume. Emailed to CON-ClinicalPlacement@osu.edu. Any questions about preceptors/mentors can be referred to the clinical placement office at CON-ClinicalPlacement@osu.edu.
