I enjoyed the course because it provided me with a clear structure and guide for understanding the role itself. It addressed real-time challenges and issues, which encouraged me to reflect on my own practice and consider how I would respond if similar situations arose. We also participated in online discussions, which I found very interesting and engaging. Hearing both experienced and new nurses share their perspectives and experiences provided valuable insights and helped deepen my understanding of the role. – Jobel Lidres https://www.casn.ca/events/details/preceptor-mentor-training-program

J’ai apprécié ce cours parce qu’il m’a fourni une structure claire et un guide pour mieux comprendre le rôle lui-même. Il a abordé des défis et des situations réels, ce qui m’a amené à réfléchir à ma propre pratique et à envisager la manière dont je réagirais si des circonstances semblables se présentaient. Nous avons également participé à des discussions en ligne, que j’ai trouvées très intéressantes et stimulantes. Le fait d’entendre des infirmières et infirmiers, tant expérimentés que débutants, partager leurs points de vue et leurs expériences m’a apporté des perspectives précieuses et a contribué à approfondir ma compréhension du rôle. – Jobel Lidres
