(Manager)Signed:(Worker)Shannon DoeDate:Signed:(Manager)Date:Introduction:The nursing preceptor is mainly and experienced registered nurse who is highlyenthusiastic about the profession of nursing and at the same time, she has the desire to teach newnursing students. They are mainly considered to be the friend, philosopher as well as guide forthe new nursing professionals as they are followed by the new nurses in their activities (Wright& Khatri, 2015). The preceptors help nurses to develop not only professionalism but makes themgo through different experiences that are then followed by the new nurses in their activities andknowledge helping them to evolve as a healthcare nursing professional and therefore providecare services (Eienne, 2014).

Jennifer did not even come to knowwhether the junior nurse was having any issue or not in the new placement. Jennifer should haveaccompanied her and should have helped her to feel comfortable making her feel that she is therefor her wherever needed. However, the preceptor did not show such activities. Moreover, thenext day, it was seen that when the team leader asked Jennifer about who was working with hertoday, Jennifer replied sarcastically that she was stuck with Shannon.
