Abstract
This article reports the development of a structured program for clinical nurse specialists who served as clinical preceptors for graduate students in an oncology nursing program. A needs assessment of clinical preceptors was completed, and a program for the preceptors was developed based on the learning needs identified. In addition to the program, a Manual for Clinical Preceptors was developed. The benefits of this program include networking; positive working relationships among the preceptors, faculty, and students; potential job opportunities for students; potential applicants from the clinical agencies; and, ultimately, improved care for patients with cancer and their families. The authors conclude that administrators should support efforts to nurture and recognize the personnel in the clinical agencies.
