J Nurses Prof Dev. 2024 Jul-Aug;40(4):195-200. doi: 10.1097/NND.0000000000001056. Epub 2024 Jun 5.

Abstract

Nurse preceptors are key to the successful transition of graduate nurses to practice and experienced nurses to a new organization. Providing ongoing preceptor development is essential to support nurses in this vital role. The evidence-based R2C2 (relationship, reaction, content, coach) feedback and coaching model was implemented to facilitate the delivery of constructive feedback from nurse preceptors to their orientees. Post-intervention survey results suggest an overall positive response to the use of the feedback model in practice.
