Maine Nursing Preceptor Education Spring Program
On May 12 and May 18, Lunder-Dineen held our Spring Maine Nursing Preceptor Education Program workshops with 173 nurses in attendance. Lunder-Dineen would like to offer our sincere gratitude to Husson University and the University of New England for hosting the workshops. Both universities supplied spaces that enhanced our workshops and made for successful days of interactive learning.
 Since the Fall, over 300 nurses from across 46 organizations in the state of Maine have participated in our nursing preceptor education program cost-free. By educating Maine nurse preceptors, we aim to advance and support the recruitment, integration, satisfaction, and retention of nurses in Maine by providing access to resources and enhancing nurses’ knowledge, skills, and abilities to support nurse colleagues within their organization.
We thank all of our invested Maine Nurse Leader faculty members, presenters, and partnering organizations who have made this program successful. And a special thank you to Lunder-Dineen Advisory Committee member Marjorie Lunder Goldy for providing welcome remarks at the University of New England workshop.
