Anxious about my upcoming preceptorship!

Hi everyone,

I am in my last semester of nursing school and I will be starting my preceptorship on a med/surg floor. I am excited for it, but also pretty nervous about it.  I feel like I don’t know what to expect from a preceptorship? Is it mainly where I am shadowing my nurse and picking up how their tricks and trades & learning how a nurses day basically will go like? Basically how was your guys’ preceptorship?

Do you guys have any tips heading into this preceptorship to help my nerves out? I’ve always done well on my nursing exams throughout nursing school, but I have personally felt more weak on the clinical side if that makes sense.. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
