Directed Health Measures

Your safety and well-being are NHCA’s top priority. The event will follow Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department directed health measures (DHMs) in place at the time the event is held.

Content

In an age where the fast acquisition of knowledge and skills is critical, you must be able to train an administrator-in-training (AIT) or mentor quickly and well without decreasing your own or your staff’s productivity. This program will offer nursing home administrators information to assist them as preceptors for AITs and/or mentors. The topics to be covered include culture change, state statutes and regulations, communication, generational styles, learning styles, principles of adult education, leadership, and team building.

Objectives

At the completion of this program, participants will be able to:

1. Identify the regulatory requirements of a preceptor.
2. Support the development of an individualized curriculum for an AIT/mentor and preceptor, including culture change and quality.
3. Identify topics to be covered with an AIT/mentor.
4. Describe teaching methods that can be utilized with an AIT/mentor.
5. Implement a training program for the AIT/mentor.
6. Evaluate the completed training program for the AIT/mentor and preceptor.

Audience

This program is designed for nursing home administrators who would like to become preceptors or who want to renew their preceptor certificates. Nursing home administrators must attend the entire day to obtain certification as a preceptor.
