Percent Very interested. 17.3% 9 Slightly interested. 23.1% 12 Interested. 26.9% 14 Not interested at all. 32.7% 17 Additional comments 14 answered question 52 skipped question 10 Additional comments 1 I enjoy precepting NP students. May 17, :30 PM 2 I do not have enough variety in the type of patients I see and this would not be the best learning environment for a generalist. 3 Tend to pick students who I am already familiar with from previous work experiences. May 17, :50 PM May 24, :27 PM 4 However I work only weekends May 25, :00 AM 5 unable to give the time the student needs d/t increased employer demands and raising young children May 25, :40 AM 6 only for last yr student May 25, :54 PM 7 not currently practicing May 25, :19 PM 8 I do all inpatient speciality work now--not likely to be a useful as a generalist would be May 25, :07 PM 9 not at this time May 25, :14 PM 10 do not feel like I have enough experience to be a preceptor at this time. May 26, :09 PM 11 I'm not sure what my role will be, probably changing. Not sure if that will make this easier or harder to do. May be 100% palliative and not sure if that will be a fit for students. 12 work hours and requirements by employer now make this very difficult as they would require me to repeat full exam/h & P and do my own dictation on every client seen-this is impossible to do and would make my hours at work even longer than the approx 55 hours weekly I already put in. I have precepted 5 NP students and will have to leave it at that May 30, :26 PM Jun 1, :55 PM 13 too many comming thru these days and our own pt load is increasing Jul 10, :39 PM 14 I don't feel like I have enough experience myself at this time. I may be interested in the future. Jul 10, :12 PM

11 Please rank order the following areas (with 4 = greatest barrier and 1 the least), which may pose as barriers to precepting nurse practitioner students Rating Average Current client load 44.2% (23) 25.0% (13) 17.3% (9) 13.5% (7) Lack of recognition for precepting 13.5% (7) 23.1% (12) 13.5% (7) 50.0% (26) The number of practicum hours 13.5% (7) 30.8% (16) 30.8% (16) 25.0% (13) Tired of precepting 7.7% (4) 3.8% (2) 17.3% (9) 71.2% (37) None that I can think of 3.8% (2) 1.9% (1) 7.7% (4) 86.5% (45) Other (please specify) 20 answered question 52 skipped question 10 Other (please specify) 1 Lack of productivity credit May 17, :26 PM 2 Number of students inquiring. I have to turn down many students, as I only take one student a semester. I appreciate when the school or student contact me directly rather than mass such as lit serve. I have not yet had a student who contacted me that way. May 17, :30 PM 3 As stated in number 8 May 17, :50 PM 4 experience is very dependent on student/preceptor relationship May 18, :39 PM 5 only been as NP for about 1 year. May 18, :26 PM 6 My load is extremely light which may not be helpful to the student. Depends on the day. 7 I am new to Bellin and need to get more of an established routine before I add any changes to my level of responsibility 8 Precepting in the neonatal field is so variable, it is difficult to plan for all experiences, for example transports, and admissions. 9 Medicare guidelines require preceptor to examine and document on each patient in order to bill. This would require patient getting two exams. Our clinic enforces this. May 18, :17 PM May 19, :59 PM May 20, :36 AM May 24, :46 PM 10 prefer to precept student interested in diabetic field and looking for job in NE wi May 25, :54 PM 11 As of now, our organization requires that the preceptor repeat the exam in entirety d/t medicare requirements and this rolls over to any appointment and insurance. This makes it near impossible to keep up and is not fair to the patient. May 25, :21 PM 12 n/a May 25, :19 PM 13 Employer/Clinic Policy May 25, :16 PM 1 of 2

12 Other (please specify) 14 Very specific type of experience - not as useful for most students May 25, :07 PM 15 it is too time sonsuming when I am expected to do an independent hx and CPX and stand alone documentation. Also big barrier if student not EPIC trained May 25, :19 PM 16 Greatest barrier is in documentation. May 26, :59 PM 17 Medical oncology is a very specialized area of medicine which may not as valuable during NP training as other areas of medicine such as adult, peds, geri, etc. 18 as above. I enjoyed precepting, but cannot do it any longer in the changing clinical environment that I work in 19 Our systems requirements to recheck all tasks students do/ limitations on student dictation/ time needed to spend teaching students - without compensation May 27, :20 PM Jun 1, :55 PM Jul 14, :36 AM 20 Extra time required to precept...in order to do a good job.

13 Other comments. 6 answered question 6 skipped question 56 Text 1 I am surprised at the interest in continuing with a Master's program when the thrust of advanced practice education is towards the Doctoral level. How about a doctoral degree in clinical practice? 2 All exams completed by students must be repeated by the preceptor in order to bill for Medicare services. 3 Would be interested in the future once I gain more experience and figure out how to be more efficient with my patient load. 4 I would love to precept, but unfortunately, with such a heavy patient load, I am afraid that I would not have enough time to spend with student(s) to be a good preceptor. 5 Students need to practice as an RN for an adequate amount of time before getting an advanced degree. Preferably in a hospital setting. They need to have a clear understanding of lab values, disease processes, diagnostic testing, pharmacology and recognizing acutely ill adults and children. Students with a strong RN background (usually hospital based) are the stronger students.
