Preparing nurses for preceptorship. 1994

M Cerinus, and C Ferguson

The introduction of Project 2000 diploma-level courses in Scotland raised many questions about how a smooth preparation and transition could be effected. One of the main difficulties related to how the new students' supernumerary status would affect their learning experiences in clinical areas, and how practitioners could be helped to make the students' experiences valuable in educational terms. This article describes how one Scottish college decided to employ preceptorship as the framework for clinical supervision, and how it prepared practitioners for their new responsibilities.
