Since the 1980s, preceptorship has offered nursing students the opportunity to consolidate the knowledge and skills they have learned in preparation for entry to practice. Given preceptorship’s extensive use in undergraduate nursing programs, this text presents a comprehensive view of the role of nurse preceptors within the complex, fast-paced, and changing health care environments in which nursing preceptorship is undertaken in Canada. This text is an essential resource for the development of preceptor competencies for current preceptors, registered nurses who are considering becoming preceptors, and nursing faculty members who facilitate this experiential learning experience.

In this text, Canadian nursing education experts provide information that expands the theoretical knowledge of preceptorship pedagogy, as well as practical application strategies intended to support and enhance the preceptorship experience for preceptors and students alike. By emphasizing the alignment with teaching competencies and advocating for ongoing discourse and advancement in preceptorship, this resource seeks to empower preceptors, nursing faculty, and students and preceptees, ensuring the continued effectiveness and relevance of this essential aspect of nursing education.
