Preceptor Study Week 6 covers effective questioning strategies and introduces the One-Minute Preceptor (OMP) model. The episode explains types of questions, emphasizes guiding learners to reason rather than giving answers, and walks through the five ... more

This episode explains how different types of questions and low-stakes quizzes can improve learning during clinical orientation. It covers the testing effect and recommends unit-based, low-stakes retrieval practice to standardize learning and reduce p... more

In this episode we review cognitive load theory and share three practical strategies for preceptors: structure information and control the environment to avoid distractions, use worked examples (checklists, flow sheets, visuals) to model tasks, and s... more

This episode introduces Cognitive Load Theory and explains how working memory, long-term memory, intrinsic load, and extraneous load affect learning in the preceptor-orientee relationship. It highlights why new information sometimes doesn’t stick and... more

This episode explains the major types of memory—sensory, short-term, working, and long-term (explicit and implicit)—and how they operate during clinical shifts.

Using practical examples from orientation, it explores why orientees get overwhelmed, ho... more

This episode introduces Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) Science and explains how it integrates neuroscience, psychology, and education into practical teaching strategies for nurse preceptors.

It covers why MBE matters in nursing—teaching in high-st... more
