Book excerpt: Benner's Novice-to-Expert Model has been used as a framework for orientation and evaluation, though few articles describe an evaluation tool that preceptors can use during orientation. Preceptor involvement in the development of these evaluation tools is imperative for successful implementation of them. The purpose of this descriptive study was to describe the preceptors' perceptions of two tools, the RN Weekly Performance Summary and the Benner Guide to the RN Weekly Performance Summary, to determine utility and helpfulness when evaluating nurse orientees. A convenience sample of 38 RN preceptors (47% response rate) from three system hospitals were surveyed via the Preceptor Evaluation Questionnaire. Over 76% of participants perceived the two tools as easy to use and helpful when evaluating their nurse orientees. It was hoped through this study, by eliciting preceptors' perceptions, more effective evaluation tools could be developed that will be more readily accepted by preceptors and show orientee progress through orientation.
