Nursing Preceptor Program
The preceptor nursing development program at Shriners Children’s is a blended program consisting of interactive online learning modules and a four-hour, in-person workshop. The program is designed to provide an environment to enhance professional growth and knowledge through evidence-based practice orientation skills for the new preceptor nurse. The theoretical content provided in this dynamic program entails the principles of adult learning, professional communication and conflict resolution supporting productive real-time feedback. These fundamental core themes support the ongoing development of valued members of the Shriners Children's education team resulting in the transference of clinical knowledge, role modeling and professional development for newly-hired nurse preceptors.

Nursing REACH Program
The Nursing REACH (Recognizing Excellence and Advancement in Clinical Healthcare) Program provides a framework at Shriners Children’s to recognize and advance professional nursing practice. The program supports clinical excellence, meaningful contribution and professional growth aligned with organizational priorities.
REACH empowers nurses to pursue advancement through demonstrated achievement in the four domains of professional practice, leadership, professional development, and community and professional engagement.
Support is available for participants throughout the process, guiding candidates from application through electronic portfolio submission.
Daisy Awards Program
Through the Daisy Awards™, we recognize and celebrate the extraordinary work our nurses do for patients and families every day. The DAISY recipient is surprised during work hours by the staff and patients and awards are typically announced during Nurse’s Week each year. Whether they are recognized by a member of the healthcare team, a patient or a family member, our nurses find this recognition very special and heartwarming.
