The supervised experiential learning site must be conducive to learning and be able to provide experiences to meet specific accreditation required competencies.
Preceptors at the facility must have the appropriate credentials and expertise relative to their area of practice. The facility must be willing to assign the preceptors and staff the appropriate length of time required to educate and train the students. It is required that all preceptors and staff at the training site recognize that students are there for learning purposes and are not to routinely replace employees. An affiliation agreement will be executed between UNL administration and the facility providing experiences unless both parties do not require an agreement.
Reasons for discontinuation of a supervised experiential learning site include failure to provide the students with the required learning opportunities to meet specific required competencies and student complaints related to unethical or inappropriate behaviors experienced at the site. Feedback on preceptors and sites will occur at the end of each semester.
The appropriateness of supervised experiential learning facilities will be reviewed annually by the program based on changes in the program and/or changes that have occurred within the facility that might impact its ability to provide the needed learning experiences.
