The Oregon Center for Nursing’s Preceptor Event celebrates the nurses who guide, teach, and support the next generation of Oregon’s nursing workforce. Preceptors play a vital role in helping students and new nurses build confidence, apply classroom learning in real-world settings, and grow into safe, skilled, and compassionate professionals. This event honors their commitment, recognizes their impact, and brings the nursing community together to thank them for the time, care, and expertise they share.
