Address over-chattiness

●     Is your preceptee the loquacious type who forms a rapport with patients right off the bat and becomes a sounding board upon walking in the door? Commend him on his bedside manner—not all nurses have that naturally, and with great bedside manner comes a well-liked and well-respected nurse.

Encourage the nurse to be honest with the families and tell them that he will be back as soon as he sees his other patients.
