Familiarity with electronic health records (EHRs), hospital protocols, and preceptorship training or certification is often required. Outstanding communication, patience, and leadership skills help foster learning and support new nurses. These abilities ensure effective knowledge transfer, promote high standards of care, and contribute to the professional growth of nursing staff.
