"Dr. Ulrich and her contributing authors have created a timely, thoughtful, instructive, and inspiring contemporary work. Perhaps today more than ever, teaching the next generation of nurses and healthcare students and learning to help our current practicing colleagues to transition specialties, settings, and roles is not just fundamental but critical to the future. This practical guide to precepting defines both the art and science of shaping practice, education, and research and is core to building and transferring our professional identity as nurses."

"Once we expected faculty to monitor students, for new graduates to 'figure it out, ' and for a nurse with any experience to transition anywhere needed. Then, as we focused on safety and quality, we realized all those individuals needed support of some kind to acquire the new expected competencies of the role in that setting. Once again, that is what Dr. Ulrich and her colleagues have done in the third edition of Mastering Precepting, with just the right balance of theory and practicality to make this a most useful book."
