Call for Preceptors!
|
What better way of giving back to the WOC nursing field then becoming a preceptor to future WOC nurses?  The WOCN Society is always looking for more members to sign up to be listed in the preceptor database. Signing up doesn't mean you are committing to anything, it just adds
your name to the list. If you are contacted by a student, you'll still need to
provide additional verification. What a great way to be a mentor!
