Nursing student preceptor recognized by UPEI for longstanding work

Dr. Kim Critchley (left), UPEI Dean of Nursing, presents Leslie Warren, divisional nurse supervisor with the Office of the Attorney General, with the 2009 Bill and Denise Andrew Preceptor Scholarship for her longstanding work as a preceptor with nursing students. Fourth-year students work with preceptors to gain experience in community agencies across the province. Looking on is Simon Pickles who completed his five-month placement under Warren's guidance at the Sleepy Hollow Correctional Centre, and Christine Murray, a member of the UPEI Nursing Faculty and advisor for the Nursing and Population Health course. Fifty-four nursing students recently completed their community placements in a wide variety of rural and urban settings.
