Abstract

This article describes the learning outcomes of students who participated in a senior preceptorship course. Data from student logs and course evaluations forms were analyzed descriptively to identify the specific instructional strategies of preceptors that were instrumental in teaching students the roles and functions of the staff nurse. Role modeling was one of the most effective strategies and also the one regarded by preceptors as least significant.
