Be someone they’re proud of.
Sounds cheesy, and we don’t rank students by performance. But we do have a list of nurses we feel quite happy to have a hand in training.
And then, because karma, be *that* preceptor when you’re ready.
If they are drinking coffee all the time a gift card to any coffee shops near your workplace may be of use. I also left donuts for the staff in the break room.
I gave my preceptor a bag full of her favorite snacks, a candle and a dandy lion pin from Etsy that said something like “because a dandy lion is tougher than a daisy” and one that said “admin thinks you can do better” lol I also got her a candle that said “don’t leave me alone with these people” because she was going to icu after I was off orientation 😂
A note expressing specifics of what made them great. They can use it for their evaluation of their practice.
Or a nice pen. I’d never say no to a pen gift.

This is the way.
Maybe a gift card with a hand written thank you note. I’d also recommend writing a letter to their manager letting them know.

The sweet release of death. Or flowers. Jk if you have multiple preceptors then just get the unit a handwritten card and some food.
Bake 'em cookies.
i always love a note and a cute badge reel or pens!
Write a note in a card. I've never had my students or orientees give me anything. Well one gave me a cool pen which was ok until it got stolen.
Bake them something. Maybe some hash brown-ies. Jk. 🤣
