PRECEPT WITH CU NURSING
We couldn't educate the next generation of
nurses without preceptors. A crucial member
of our academic team, preceptors not only
facilitate students to meet course objectives,
but they are also a valuable resource, coach,
evaluator, and mentor.
Precepting offers the opportunity for professional and personal development
while mentoring graduate students at various stages of their clinical education.
It is also one of the best ways to identify a future practitioner for your practice.

In addition to her passion for nursing,
Moritz was a great lover and patron of
the arts. She excelled in fiber arts and
personally exhibited her work with the
DC Handweavers Guild at the Torpedo
Factory galleries in Virginia.
