C Bartz, and K M Srsic-Stoehr

As part of developing an Army Nurse Corps Preceptorship Program, a survey queried 70 Army Nurse Corps officers about preceptorship program content and process. Respondents provided information about personal, interpersonal, clinical, and environmental characteristics of preceptorships. The most important preceptor characteristic was clinical competence. Recommended program length was at least 6 weeks. Transition to clinical practice was a key objective of preceptees.
