Abstract

The Hybrid Instructor Preceptor Model is a novel, accelerated, evidence-based nursing orientation model. The Hybrid Instructor Preceptor Model uses instructor and preceptor phases, which standardize foundational content, approach skills acquisition, and increase clinical experiences for a new hire. A pediatric acute cardiac care unit successfully onboarded 30 nurses in 10 months using the Hybrid model.
