Video: Common Challenges in Precepting and Clinical Teaching: Time Management and Prioritization
As health care workers, we understand that priority-setting and time-management skills are crucial to our job and our client outcomes. Teaching these skills to our current and future registered nurses is another mountain to climb. This section of the course will help you identify common issues students have with priority setting and time management. Identifying the struggles is the first step in helping students improve these valuable skills.
“In health care facilities, time management is critical, since time wasted by health care workers is time not spent with patients, and this has a detrimental impact on the quality of treatment provided to patients” (Addis et al., 2023).
In a 2023 study, Addis et al. reiterated what many seasoned nurses intuitively understand — that “health professionals who were effective at planning their tasks were about 6 times more likely to have good time management practices than those who failed to plan.” Therefore, teaching time-management and prioritization skills to the next generation of nurses is crucial.

Video: The One Minute Preceptor Model
This video explains the One Minute Preceptor model, using an example in a pharmacy setting easily translated into a nursing application. The One-Minute Preceptor Model is effective for use by preceptors in a variety of disciplines. While it can be done rather quickly, the truth is that it often does require more than one minute to complete all the steps.
Step 4: Reading Selections — 20 Minutes
