Paige Lindow, a clinical nurse leader at Columbia St. Mary\u2019s and UW-Milwaukee direct entry Master of Nursing (MN) alumna, has been giving back to future nursing students in a way that impacts students for years to come; she has been precepting students in the MN program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paige explained, \u201cI feel it\u2019s important in my clinical nurse leader role to work with students because many people do not understand the role and it\u2019s used infrequently. We learn about it in the program, but allowing students to see how a health care organization uses the role gives students a great understanding.\u201d Paige also shared that alumni should consider precepting students and shared this advice: \u201cDon\u2019t be nervous, the students are there for a learning opportunity and I\u2019ve only been in this role myself for 1.5 years. I\u2019m learning as my preceptee asks questions and together, we create creative solutions for problems on the unit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before her nursing career, Paige earned a biology degree from UW-LaCrosse. She was a certified nursing assistant (CNA) for several years before coming to 51ÁÔÆæ for the Master of Nursing program. Her parents were both ultrasound technicians and Paige always knew she wanted to have a career in health care. From her CNA experience, she understood that nurses were able to spend time with patients and create connections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
