Preceptors' perceptions of a baccalaureate preceptorial experience

Abstract

A preceptor's perception of a baccalaureate preceptorial experience has implications for faculty, nursing service administrators, and clinical agency personnel as they select nurses to serve as preceptors. This article describes a specific preceptorial experience and presents data collected from 137 preceptors who participated. Data include descriptive information about the preceptors and an analysis of their responses to six questions about the experience.
