The success of clinical supervision also depends on an organization’s ability to create supportive frameworks to ensure the necessary time is available for supervising students (Landmark et al., 2003). Head preceptors, in close cooperation with preceptors, play important roles in carrying out pedagogical improvements in students’ clinical education (Hallin and Danielson, 2010). Precepting consists of registered nurses’ day-to-day support of nursing students, including teaching, reflecting, feedback and evaluation. The preceptor has a clear responsibility to create opportunities for students to integrate theory and practice, and several studies describe the importance of clarifying the theoretical dimension in discussions on practical actions (Swallow and Coates, 2004, Andrews and Roberts, 2003 and Landmark et al., 2003).
