Build their confidence
â—Â Â Â Â Ask the charge nurse from the previous shift to assign patients who may be on the easier side, even if just for a day.

As you may remember from the beginning of your own career, less confidence meant doubting your every move, which equated to less efficient nursing. Boosting your preceptee’s confidence may make a world of difference.
