Abstract

To reflect contemporary nursing care, the practicing nurse is in an ideal position to shape the clinical experience for student nurses. Although nurse preceptors are frequently used to assist in practice education of nursing students, their contribution to the creation of these programs has not been explored. The author discusses the results of a participatory action research study with the aim of creating a preceptor-guided practice education model for use throughout an undergraduate bachelor of science in nursing curriculum.
