Five Registered Nurses (RNs) from Titus Regional Medical Center (TRMC) (pictured above) completed the 8-week NTCC Continuing Education (CE) Course RNSG1075- Clinical Preceptor Training Program.  These five RNs worked hard to successfully complete this Evidence-Based Program focusing on how to master precepting when working with NTCC nursing students who are completing their clinical time at TRMC using the Preceptor Model.  Each RN was recognized today at TRMC with a CE Certificate of Course Completion presented by Dr. Karen Koerber-Timmons, NTCC Director of Nursing Programs and Instructor for the CE Course- Clinical Preceptor Training Program.
