Policy and Other Important Clinical Information
o Clinical Student Policy – Allows easy access for review. It is important
to understand the policy faculty and students practice under. Students
are required to have direct supervision throughout the entire medication
administration process. Since students are not licensed, they cannot
serve as a 2nd witness for those medication that require one.

regarding Faculty and students being hosted on your department.
o Precepted Guidelines outline the school’s and student’s responsibility to
the preceptor and to you as the department leadership.

requirements for all instructors. These requirements promote a positive
transition into the faculty role and encourage collaboration with Cone

Preceptorship
 Undergraduate Nursing Preceptorships
o Requests from Staff Education will be made 3 times a year (Fall,
Summer, Winter) for your department to offer nurses to serve as
preceptors for our local nursing programs. Usually the request is for
senior students completing a Cap Stone Course and traditionally is
heaviest during spring semester.
o There are variables that only the department leadership are aware of, so
it is at the Department Director’s discretion who can serve as an
undergraduate preceptor.
o To maintain fair and equitable community offerings, Cone does not
support an individual school’s solicitation of a preceptor.
o If a school representative approaches a nurse to be a preceptor, the
nurse should let their department director know if they are interested
and refer the school representative to Staff Education for the preceptor
request process.

Employee students – An employee seeking to complete a component of course
work at Cone (included clinical, non-clinical, research) must meet certain onboarding requirements.
o Affiliate agreement with your school
o School ability to verify and maintain documentation of credentialing
requirements
o Course Work Request form submitted by the Academic Point of Contact
