To enhance the understanding of precepting as an educational process through narrative.

Main Methods:

Utilized an interpretive approach for preceptor education.
Described a preceptor education program incorporating preceptor narratives.
Analyzed narratives to identify key themes.

Main Results:

Identified themes including teaching, the nature of nursing as precepting, and the importance of timing.
