Teacher training; Nursing research & theory

Behind every confident nurse is someone who taught them how to think, act, and lead.

In Heart Behind the Scrubs, Dr. Harrieth K. Gabone Siaca Bey brings to light the powerful, often unseen role of nurse preceptors, the professionals who stand at the intersection of education and practice, shaping the next generation of healthcare providers.

Drawing from her doctoral research and real-world experience, Dr. Gabone explores a critical truth: clinical expertise alone is not enough to teach. Preceptors are often expected to guide, mentor, and evaluate others without ever being formally prepared to do so.

This book bridges the gap between research and practice, offering insight into:

What preceptors truly need to feel confident and effective How preparation impacts teaching, learning, and patient care Why supporting preceptors is essential to strengthening the healthcare system

Written in a clear, engaging, and relatable tone, this book speaks to nurse preceptors, educators, healthcare leaders, and anyone committed to developing safe, competent, and confident practitioners.

Because when we prepare those who teach, we strengthen the future of healthcare.
