Abstract:
Preceptorship models of clinical teaching are becoming increasingly popular in undergraduate nursing education. According to the literature the role of the lecturer is very unclear in this model of clinical teaching. This article reports on a descriptive study undertaken within a school of nursing where the author was formerly employed. The study explored the role of the lecturer. The findings demonstrate the educational orientation of the lecturer role and also highlight the tension that continues to exist between the world of education and the world of practice.
