Still A Nursing Student? Write Your Preceptor A Managing Up Letter!

Make connections with every nurse, manager, everybody you come in contact with during your last year of nursing school. Especially as you get closer to graduation. 

I suggest that nursing students, write a “Managing Up” letter to their preceptor, unit manager, and even the DON, towards the end of every clinical / unit that they love.

• Praise your preceptor (if they were awesome) AND express your desire as a new nurse to work on their unit.
• Walk this letter into the manager, along with your portfolio, and verbally state your desire to work there, while you shake their hand and give your elevator pitch.

Its a great way to express gratitude to the nurse(s), manager, DON, and maybe get them to remember you when you reach back out after graduation / pass NCLEX and let them know you passed.

Not many do this!

Stay on their radar!
