From student nurses to professionals starting a new role, nurses need guidance, advice, and insight to help them navigate their career transitions.

The OCN Annual Outstanding Nurse Preceptor Awards is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the critical role these professionals play in advancing the nursing workforce. Nurse preceptors offer feedback and encouragement, educate on hospital policies, and evaluate competencies. A strong preceptor relationship plays a vital role at every stage of a nurse’s career. Join us in acknowledging the immeasurable impact Oregon nurse preceptors have on our nurses, our workforce, and our communities across the state.

Nominate an Outstanding Nurse Preceptor

Do you know someone in your organization who has a positive impact on new team members? Or do you have a past preceptor who left a lasting impression on your own career? We welcome you to submit a nomination in their honor.

The 2025 Outstanding Nurse Preceptor Awards are coming! Nominations for this year's award cycle will open in early June.

Questions? Contact OCN team member Callie Fowler (Gisler) at callie.fowler@oregoncenterfornursing.org.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: The annual Outstanding Nurse Preceptor Awards aim to celebrate Oregon’s diverse nursing community. We welcome and encourage nominations from individuals of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, and backgrounds. Our goal is to honor nurses who not only provide outstanding care but also foster an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Honorees are selected anonymously by a blind selection committee based only upon the quality 250-word narrative submitted by nominators.
