"In my current role, I work closely with nursing students from our local university and I love getting the opportunity to help show my nursing skills off to the young students. I always think back to a great preceptor that I had in training that allowed me to work with my hands and make the mistakes before trying to fix them ahead of time so I could learn on my own. I take this same approach with the students I work with. On top of the nursing students, my current employer has rotating medical students that do come through from time to time and always try and educate them on the nurses perspective of the provider/nurse relationship."
