Maggie Blackmon with clinical preceptor Stephanie Pettiet

We could not fulfill our mission to educate the next generation of nurse leaders without the support of our superb clinical preceptors! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, insight, experience and support with our students. You truly make a difference.

What lesson did your preceptor share that you will carry into your future nursing career?⠀

“She’s taught me to be confident in what you know and what you’re doing, because you do have the knowledge to take care of your patients and give them high-quality care. She’s also super good at communicating with patients and family members, even in really difficult times, and she has role modeled that for me.”
—ABSN student Mackenzie Robison about her MUSC clinical preceptor SandraAnn Gibson, R.N.

“To continue to keep learning and getting into the new experiences. Teamwork is another thing that they really value here, and everyone steps up.”
—ABSN student Maggie Blackmon about her clinical preceptor Stephanie Pettiet, BSN, R.N.

“My preceptor, Dawn, is an amazing teacher. She’s thoughtful, compassionate, and intuitive. She challenges me to try new skills and test my nursing judgment. She’s a fantastic coach and a kind listener. She’s also an encourager and mentor. I am so thankful for Dawn. She keeps me on my toes and keeps me laughing. Most importantly, she puts patient care and patient dignity first. I'll be a better nurse because of her. That's something that I'll take with me into my nursing career. I hope, one day, to inspire someone in the way she has inspired me.”
—ABSN student Anna Ravan about her clinical preceptor Dawn Truog, R.N.

“Laura Finklea has taught me the importance of advocating for my patients, but also for myself. She spent many years at the bedside and is now enjoying the pace of the pre-op/holding area and she is now able to have a healthy work-life balance. Laura encouraged me to take time for myself and always remember to prioritize my health and happiness. This is something that I will take with me and remember throughout my nursing career! Laura has been so willing to teach and has been an amazing preceptor to learn through, as have all of the nurses on the pre-op unit.”
—ABSN student Alison Garner about her clinical preceptor Laura Finklea, R.N.

“Dr. Lauerer is a gem to the psychiatry world. She always goes the extra mile with her patients and students. It has been an honor to learn from her and see the impact she has on the families at One80 Place and Brentwood. She has taught me a lot, but something I always remember is to celebrate the little wins with our patients and give ourselves grace as we continue the journey towards being PMHNPs.”⠀
—PMHNP DNP student Rika Kemp about her clinical preceptor Dr. Joy Lauerer
