A clinical preceptor program: strategy for new graduate orientation

L Friesen et al. J Nurs Adm. 1980 Apr.

Abstract

The nurse internship program offers a practical approach to the orientation of new graduates to hospital routine. Staff nurses, as clinical preceptors, provide peer role models and clinical support for new graduates during their transition from student to staff nurse. From their experience in developing the program, the authors discuss the theoretical basis, the pragmatics, and the benefits of this approach and suggest its applicability to other situations.
